"It is better to be a self-made man,--filled up according to God's original pattern,--than to be half a man, made after some other man's pattern."

A secret is powerful when it is empty. People often mention the "Masonic secret." What on earth is the Masonic secret? No one can tell. As long as it remains empty it can be filled up with every possible notion, and it has power.
