"Freemasonry, if not formally, essentially dates back to ancient times: over a long series of centuries, it was always recognized as a sanctuary of good morals, a refuge for innocence, a school of wisdom, a temple of philanthropy: at the threshold of this temple, Freemasons lay down or forget their noble titles and vain pomp, because the level of equality restores each individual, in the Lodge, to the genuine conditions of his being, and Freemasons recognize and call each other Brothers."
