This was in the back of our Scottish Rite Reunion book, I thought this is how we all should live.

A Mason is a man who is clean inside and outside, who neither looks up to the rich or down to the poor, who can give without complaining and who can prosper without bragging, and who is considerate of women, children, and old people. He is a man who is too brave to lie, too noble to cheat, too sensible to loaf, and who takes his share of the world's good and lets others take theirs.

Thanks for posting, that is the best description I have seen in a while.

Very good, I would add he is a person who spends his free time memorizing things too.

I like it.

As a future Brother once told me before I was a Mason, Masons are extraordinary men in ordinary circumstances.
