A DICTIONARY OF FREEMASONRY
Robert Macoy
|
|
| 1 |
"Everything is the perpetual transformation or metamorphosis of God."
|
|
| 2 |
"The circle has ever been considered symbolical of the Deity; for as a circle appears to have neither beginning nor end, it may be justly considered a type [archetype] of God, without either beginning of days or ending of years."
|
|
| 3 |
"God is immanent in all created things, working in each blade of grass, and swelling bud, and opening flower."
|
|
| 4 |
"From the wonders of nature, we are led to contemplate the Great Original."
|
|
| 5 |
"Faith is the foundation of justice, the bond of amity, and chief support of society; we live and walk by faith."
|
|
| 6 |
"The center of unity is not material nor visible. It is an internal principle which dwells in all its parts, and binds them altogether in one harmonious whole."
|
|
| 7 |
"The ancients contemplated the universe from the religious point of view. All the phenomena of life – all the motions of the heavenly bodies – the whole stupendous spectacle of the world – revealed to them the presence of an unseen Intelligence."
|
|
| 8 |
"Those old Grecians and Egyptians saw in all the phenomena of nature – in all the motions of the starry spheres, and in all the miracles of the world – the shadow of that mysterious One, who, although infinite and indivisible, yet in some manner individualizes himself to every human thought, and localizes himself in every place."
|
|
| 9 |
"The 'creed' of a Mason is simple. It is belief in a God 'in whom we live, and move, and have our being.'"
|
|
| 10 |
"The Eye of God is in every place."
|
|
| 11 |
"There is something divine in man, which prompts him to look beyond the mere supply of his necessities, and to aim continually at higher objects."
|
|
| 12 |
"The Alcoran [Koran] describes Allah's character and attributes thus: 'He alone is self-existent; has no rival; is from everlasting to everlasting; fills the universe with his presence; is the center in which all things unite.'"
