What is Freemasonry? 2 quotations on the matter:
'Freemasonry is an
ancient and respectable institution, embracing individuals of every nation, of
every religion, and of every condition in life. Wealth, power and talents are
not necessary to the person of a Freemason. An unblemished character and
virtuous conduct are the only qualifications for admission in to the Order'.
William Alexander Laurie, History of Freemasonry.
'We represent a fraternity which believes in justice and truth and honorable action in your community...men who are endeavoring to be better citizens...[and] to make a great country greater. This is the only institution in the world where we can meet on the level all sorts of people who want to live rightly.' Harry S. Truman, former President of the United States of America.
