15 Qualities of a Master Mason

Adapted and condensed from Don Bradley, Freemasonry in the 21st 

Century, ISBN 1-888298-00-6.

1. Master Masons do not have selfish interests.  All they do, say, and think is for the welfare of others.

2. Vanity is dead for them.  They see themselves as they are and do not pretend to be something other than what they are.

3. Anger is no longer their master.  They have found that anger is a defense mechanism of the ego.
