The secret of Masonry, like the secret of life, can be known only by those who seek it, serve it, live it. It cannot be uttered it can only be felt and acted. It is, in fact, an open secret, and each man knows it according to his quest and capacity. Like all things worth knowing, no one can know it for another and no man can know it alone.
William Howard Taft

William Howard Taft
There is nothing so despicable as a secret society that is based upon religious prejudice and that will attempt to defeat a man because of his religious beliefs. Such a society is like a cockroach - it thrives in the dark. So do those who combine for such an end.
William Howard Taft
Action for which I become responsible, or for which my administration becomes responsible, shall be within the law.
William Howard Taft
