"...If all men had always obeyed with all their hearts the mild and gentle teachings of Masonry, that world would always have been a paradise... For this is the Masonic creed: Believe in God's infinite benevolence, wisdom and justice; Hope for the final triumph of good over evil and for the perfect harmony as the final result of all the concords and discords of the universe; and Be Charitable, as God is, towards the unfaith, the errors, the follies and the faults of men; for all are of one great Brotherhood."
Albert Pike, 33° - The Meaning of Masonry, 1858
