Scottish Rite Creed
Human progress is our cause, liberty of
thought our supreme wish, freedom of
conscience our mission,and the guarantee
of equal rights to all people everywhere
our ultimate goal.
I believe that the Ancient and Accepted rite can be placed in possession of a pure and high toned body of Masons in this State (Texas), whose worth and work will entitle them to the respect of other members of the rite wherever located.
--Philip C. Tucker, First Sovereign Inspector General for Texas, August, 1, 1866
