Adam Weishaupt
My general plan is good, though in the detail there may be faults.

The most wonderful thing of all is that the distinguished Lutheran and Calvinist theologians who belong to our order really believe that they see in it (Illuminati) the true and genuine sense of Christian Religion. Oh mortal man, is there anything you cannot be made to believe?
Adam Weishaupt
In another situation, and in an active station in life, I should have been keenly occupied, and the founding of an order would have never come into my head.
Adam Weishaupt
The hankering of the mind is irresistible.

Adam Weishaupt
The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment let it never appear in any place in its own name but always covered by another name and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Freemasonry the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it and therefore takes little notice of it.
Adam Weishaupt

Adam Weishaupt
The human race will then become one family, and the world will be the dwelling of Rational Men.
Adam Weishaupt
And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.
Adam Weishaupt
Salvation does not lie where strong thrones are defended by swords, where the smoke of censers ascend to heaven or where thousands of strong men pace the rich fields of harvest. The revolution which is about to break will be sterile if it is not complete.
Adam Weishaupt
A Literary Society is the most proper form for the introduction of our Order into any state where we are yet strangers.
Adam Weishaupt
We see with what keenness and zeal the frivolous business of Freemasons is conducted, by persons knit together by the secrecy of their union.
Adam Weishaupt
I did not bring Deism into Bavaria more than into Rome. I found it here, in great vigour, more abounding than in any of the neighboring Protestant States. I am proud to be known to the world as the founder of the Illuminati.
Adam Weishaupt
When man lives under government, he is fallen, his worth is gone, and his nature tarnished.
Adam Weishaupt
I am proud to be known to the world as the founder of the Illuminati.
