Manly P. Hall Quotes

“Every soul is engaged in a great work-the labor of personal liberation from the state of ignorance. The world is a great prison; its bars are the Unknown. And each is a prisoner until, at last, he earns the right to tear these bars from their moldering sockets, and pass, illuminated and inspired into the darkness, which becomes lighted by that presence.”

“Ignorance fears all things, falling, terror-stricken before the passing wind. Superstition stands as the monument to ignorance, and before it kneel all who realize their own weakness who see in all things the strength they do not possess.”

“Man is given by Nature a gift, and that gift is the privilege of labor. Through labor he learns all things.”

“They wander in darkness seeking light, failing to realize that the light is in the heart of the darkness.”

“Thou wouldist not seek me hadst thou not found me.”
