Freemasonry is
kindness in the home,
honesty in business,
courtesy in society,
fairness in work,
pity and concern for the unfortunate,
resistance toward evil,
help for the weak,
forgiveness for the penitent,
love for one another and, above all,
reverence and love for God.
Freemasonry is many things but,
most of all:
Freemasonry is a way of life.
It encourages good citizenship and political expression but is not a political organization.
Its charitable activities are manifold, yet, it is not a welfare or benefit organization.
