BROTHER NORMAN VINCENT PEALE
Joseph F. Lopena, DGL
Yes, we are talking about the guy who is famous for promoting Positive Thinking throughout the world. He is a brother mason.
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. – Rev. Norman Vincent Peale
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
– Thomas A. Edison
We Masons are among the fortunate ones who are taught to meet together with
others opposing or competitive ideas and yet respect each other as Brothers.

The secret of Masonry, like the secret of life, can be known only by those who seek it, serve it, live it. It cannot be uttered; it can only be felt and acted. It is, in fact, an open secret, and each man knows it according to his quest and capacity. Like all things worth knowing, no one can know it for another and no man can know it alone.” – Dr. Joseph Fort Newton
