Masonic Thoughts


PERSONNAL DEVELOPMENT

yesnowis
Pity the man who inherits a million dollars and isn’t a millionaire.
Here’s what would be pitiful, if your income grew and you didn’t

We can have more than we’ve got because we can become more than we are.

LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT

abcdeg
If you share a good idea long enough, it will eventually fall on good people.

Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.

Leaders whether in the family, in business, in government, or in education,
Must not allow themselves to mistake intentions for accomplishments.

Masonic Bits and Pieces


Seeds of Confidence: Value is Inside Out

The stretch of the limousine usually is inversely proportional to the self-esteem of the person riding in it.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

You can only do good, if you feel good. The price of success is to bear the criticism of envy.

Individuals with good self-esteem can accept or reject the opinions of others, but never depend on them for their sense of worthiness.

From the old records:
