Quit Bullying
WB Ryan B. Tirol, PM
Sometimes we make the mistake of using our superiority over others in order to get what we want. We may be intellectually superior, or in terms of power or connection. We tend to abuse such superiority to lord over others. We must stop this. Such kind of abuse will someday come back to us in various forms of suffering. We shall reap what we sow. Remember that.
“Everybody really knows what to do to have his life filled with joy. What is it? Quit
hating people; start loving them. Quit being mad at people; start liking them. Quit doing
wrong; quit being filled with fear. Quit thinking about yourself and go out and do
something for other people. Everybody knows what you have to do to be happy. But the
wisdom of the test lies in the final words: If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye
do them”. – Bro. Norman Vincent Peale
“Good Masons make good churchmen. Every clergyman can testify to the truth of this. They make loyal and sacrificing patriots. Our colonial history supplies the proof of this assertion. All Masons are not ardent church members but neither are all church members ardent for the church. Yet the proof is clearly and abundantly evident that the Masonic fraternity is an influence for good in personal and community life.Freemasonry has always been a friend and ally of religion. Religious people have found a congenial fellowship within the Lodge and have not been embarrassed by what takes place there. In many respects, Freemasonry may be called a religious institution owing its origin and morality to the religious element”.
– Bro. Fred P. Corson, President, World Methodist Council (1961-1965)
“If you want to know where the future of Freemasonry will grow and prosper it’s simple
in the heart, in your heart, in my heart, and in the hearts of those who follow us”.
– Bro. Conrad Hahn
“Ideals are like stars. You will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but, like theseafaring man, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you will reach
your destiny”. – Bro. Carl Schurtz
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work”.
– Bro. Thomas A. Edison
