If, anywhere, brethren of a particular religious belief have been excluded from this Degree [18ยฐ Knight Rose Croix], it merely shows how gravely the purposes and plan of Masonry may be misunderstood.

Because they are frightened of being lonely, or they have children.

It's like Mark Twain said, "Don't let school get in the way of your education."
Jim JarmuschI drink much less than most people think, and I think much more than most people would believe.

Hunter S. ThompsonMathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds you stuff of any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat-flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
Thomas HuxleyI'm kind of the boss. I could fire myself if I ever got out of line, and I can hire myself too which is a good thing.

It gives me freedom and it gives me a certain degree of responsibility at the same time.
Tony KrantzMen are very apt to run into extremes, hatred to England may carry come into an excess of Confidence in France... I am heartily disposed to entertain the most favourable sentiments of our new ally and to cherish them in others to a reasonable degree; but it is a maxim founded on the universal experience of mankind, that no nation is to be trusted farther than it is bound by its interest; and no prudent statesman or politician will venture to depart from it.

Jay EllisI'm really disturbed by the degree to which I don't hear people saying, "Are we leaving the world better than we found it?" I think we are a generation that perhaps could not answer in the affirmative, and it is the evasion of the larger responsibility of being only one generation in what one hopes will be an infinite series of fruitful generations. There is a selfishness in refusing to understand that we are passing through; others will come, and they deserve certain courtesies and certain considerations from us.
Marilynne RobinsonIn societies like the American and West European where the dynamics of energy come from freedom and where the climate and the whole ethos are those of freedom, censorship is bound to be at worst, stupid; at best, futile; and always, to some degree, inconsonant with the character of the society as a whole.

Margaret HalseyTo organize work in such a manner that it becomes meaningless, boring, stultifying, or nerve-racking for the worker would be little short of criminal; it would indicate a greater concern with goods than with people, an evil lack of compassion and a soul-destroying degree of attachment to the most primitive side of this worldly existence.
