The great can protect themselves, but the poor and humble require the arm and shield of the law.
Every man is equally entitled to protection by law. But when the laws undertake to add... artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges—to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful— the humble members of society—the farmers, mechanics, and laborers, who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their government.
Freemasonry is an institution calculated to benefit mankind.
Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit.
You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.
Freemasonry is an ancient and respectable institution, embracing individuals of every nation, of every religion, and of every condition in life. Wealth, power and talents are not necessary to the person of a Freemason. An unblemished character and a virtuous conduct are the only qualifications for admission into the Order.

I have always been afraid of banks.
Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there.
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessings.
This spirit of mob-law is becoming as great an evil as a servile war.
