"This degree is more august, sublime, and important than those which precede it, and is the summit of ancient Masonry. It impresses on our minds a more firm belief of the existence of a Supreme Diety without beginning of days or end of years, and justly reminds us of the respect and veneration due to that holy name. Until within these few years, this degree was not conferred on any but those who had been enrolled a considerable time in the fraternity, and could besides give the most unequivocal proofs of their skill and proficiency in the Craft." -Ahiman Rezon

Three things cannot be long hidden:
the sun, the moon, and the truth
The Great Work
The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
~Ayn Rand
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry. ~Thomas Paine
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. ~Albert Einstein
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. ~Buddha
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts. ~Abraham Lincoln
It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
~Thomas Jefferson
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
~Winston Churchill
Adversity is the first path to truth. ~Lord Byron
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only delusion and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
~C. S. Lewis
The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors.
~Tony Robbins
Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked for little; by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods. ~Confucius
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow. ~Friedrich Nietzsche
Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
~Henry David Thoreau
If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
~Pablo Picasso
Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.
~Leonardo da Vinci
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Peace if possible, truth at all costs. ~Martin Luther
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold. ~Leo Tolstoy
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. ~George Orwell
Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away. ~Elvis Presley
Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time. ~Richard Dawkins
Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.
~Aldous Huxley
Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it. ~Blaise Pascal
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
~Arthur Schopenhauer
The Truth is resplendent, unfailing, it is enduring, no moth comes to eat and no worm destroys.

Free your mind.
~Morpheus
You are the Temple.
~1 Cor 3:16
To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, because that's where stars shine the brightest.
"Reminding one another of the dream that each of us aspires to may be enough for us to set each other free."
