"Masonry is too great an institution to have been made in a day, much
less by a few men, but was a slow evolution through long time, unfolding
its beauty as it grew. Indeed, it was like one of its own cathedrals
which one generation of builders wrought and vanished, and another
followed, until, amidst vicissitudes of time and change, of decline and
revival, the order itself became a temple of Freedom and Fraternity."
