“With faith, hope, and kindness, Masons must always work and teach these principles, recognizing that knowledge is a treasure, for it is Light, as ignorance is Darkness: "Weigh well what it is your promise; but once the promise and pledge are given, remember that he who is false to his obligation, will be false to his family, his friends, his country, and his God.”
-Albert Pike
