Freemasonry
Making Good Men Better
What is Freemasonry all about?
“To improve the morals and correct the manners of men in society must be your constant care. You are to inculcate universal benevolence, and by the regularity of your own behaviour afford the best example for the conduct of others.”
— Excerpt from the final charge given to all Master Masons.

Freemasons in North Queensland
“I shall immediately proceed to put your principles in some measure to the test, by calling on you to exercise that virtue which may justly be denominated the distinguishing characteristic of a Freemason’s heart; I mean Charity. I need not here dilate upon its excellences; doubtless, it has often been felt and practised by you.“
— Excerpt from the Charity charge given to all Freemasons when initiated

“To do more for the world than the world does for you — that is success.”
— Henry Ford, Freemason
