More quotes by Adam Weishaupt
The human race will then become one family, and the world will be the dwelling of Rational Men.
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
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
It was the full conviction of this, and of what could be done, if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education, which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination.
Adam Weishaupt
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
But alas, they are all sadly deficient, because they leave us under the domination of political and religious prejudices and they are as inefficient as the sleepy dose of an ordinary sermon.

Adam Weishaupt
G is Grace, the Flaming Star is the Torch of Reason. Those who possess this knowledge are indeed Illuminati.
Adam Weishaupt
It is necessary to gain the common people to our order. The best means to that end is influence in the schools.
Adam Weishaupt
My general plan is good, though in the detail there may be faults.
Adam Weishaupt
I am proud to be known to the world as the founder of the Illuminati.
Adam Weishaupt
Oh mortal man, is there anything you cannot be made to believe?
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
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
If a writer publishes any thing that attracts notice, and is in itself just, but does not accord with our plan, we must endeavour to win him over, or decry him.
Adam Weishaupt
Oh mortal man, is there anything you cannot be made to believe?. Of all the means I know to lead men, the most effectual is a concealed mystery.The hankering of the mind is irresistible.
Adam Weishaupt
The hankering of the mind is irresistible.
Adam Weishaupt
This is the great object held out by this association and the means of attaining it is illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason which will dispell the clouds of superstition and of prejudice.
