 Masonic quotes by Brothers

A CREED FOR THE CRAFT

by R. I. Clegg
The American Freemason - November 1914

THOU shalt not make unto thyself any pretentious graven image of the Masonic faith, nor bow down thereto, for Freemasonry is more than the blazonry of big buttons or the ballast of weighty watch charms. Yea, the true Mason may lose his lapel label yet cares he not; lo, is it not with him blown into the glass for keeps. Therefore, my son, be thou wise and right speedily thereunto get next. 

Thou shalt not take the name of Freemason in vain nor fail to live up to it. 

Remember the Lodge night and show up thereon. 

Honor thy Mother Lodge that the stranger from afar off may envy thy Masonic home. 

Thou shalt not kill the cheery prospect ahead, therefore help thou the good work along and block not the game. 

Thou shalt not commit buffoonery as Steward nor lack dignity as Master. 

Thou shalt not steal away thy brother's pleasure, neither dilute thou his due joys. 

Thou shalt not bear falsehood nor grouch against any thy brethren. 

Thou shalt not covet another's Lodge. Get busy. 

Thou shalt not be other than brotherly - making friends by being one.
