The Christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin: Both are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is, that the Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun.

It is not in numbers, but in unity, that our great strength lies.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

...the Bible is such a book of lies and contradictions there is no knowing which part to believe or whether any.

If those to whom power is delegated do well, they will be respected; if not, they will be despised.

Every person of learning is finally his own teacher.

My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
