 Masonic quotes by Brothers

THE TRUE MASON

The above definition of Masonic character appeared in am 1823 edition of the Farmers Almanac that was published in Andover, Massachusetts

The real Freemason is distinguished from the rest of mankind by the uniform unrestrained rectitude of his conduct. Other men are honest in fear of punishment that the law might inflict; they are religious in expectation of  being rewarded, or in dread of the devil in the next world. A Freemason would be just if there were no laws, human or divine, except those written in the heart by the fingers of his Creator.  In every climate, under every system of religion, he is the same.  He kneels before the throne of God in gratitude for the blessings he has received; and in humble solicitations for his future protection.  He venerates the good men of all religions; he disturbs not the religion of others.  He restrains his passions because they cannot be indulged without injuring his neighbor or himself.  He gives no offense because he does not choose to be offended.  He is honest upon principle.
