 Masonic quotes by Brothers

TRADITION

In Freemasonry, written history began by reducing tradition to historical narrative, and for many years legends were accepted without evidence.

But with the critical school of historians the purely traditional was separated from the evident historical.

Traditions are never invented, although often exaggerated, and much elaborated through successive generations.

Tradition, however, has a foundation in fact, and is valuable for the preservation of knowledge which might otherwise be lost.
