Pride Is Not The Heritage Of Man;

He Who Endeavors To Serve, To Benefit, And Improve The World, Is Like A Swimmer, Who Struggles Against A Rapid Current, In A River Lashed Into Angry Waves By The Winds. Often They Roar Over His Head, Often They Beat Him Back And Baffle Him. Most Men Yield To The Stress Of The Current... Only Here And There The Stout, Strong Heart And Vigorous Arms Struggle On Toward Ultimate Success.

Man Is Encompassed With A Dome Of Incomprehensible Wonders. In Him And About Him Is That Which Should Fill His Life With Majesty And Sacredness. Something Of Sublimity And Sanctity Has Thus Flashed Down From Heaven Into The Heart Of Every One That Lives.

Above All Things Let Us Never Forget That Mankind Constitutes One Great Brotherhood; All Born To Encounter Suffering And Sorrow, And Therefore Bound To Sympathize With Each Other.

I Took My Obligations From White Men, Not From Negroes. When I Have To Accept Negroes As Brothers Or Leave Masonry, I Shall Leave It

We Must Pass Through The Darkness, To Reach The Light.
