 Masonic quotes by Brothers

IF ALL MEN WERE MASONS

We hear it many times. And, many times it is our own wish unexpressed.

Actually we are not thinking in terms of that utopia in which all men are members of the Masonic Institution. We are thinking in terms of understanding, tolerance, brotherly love, unselfishness, and honesty. We are thinking of a condition that would be the direct result of all men doing the things that would make of Earth a Heaven.

We are also thinking: "If all Masons were Masons- ." And, we are not being unjust or over-critical. We bring it down to a very personal search" "If I were as good a Mason as I ought to be- ."

But with it all, we use the words Masons and Masonry as standards of right living, as standards of an ideal that is worth the struggle, of a condition that will mean the only real "social security."

Let us be hopeful. Let us continue to work and to achieve. The thoughts that we are thinking, the critical inquiry that we are making of ourselves, and the thoughts and critical inquiries of other Masons are constructive thinking and making.

The long march of Masonry through the centuries delineates the Upward Path.
