The word "We" is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. THE WORD WE IS AS LIME POURED OVER MEN WHICH SETS AND HARDENS TO STONE AND CRUSHES ALL BENEATH IT AND THAT WHICH IS WHITE AND THAT WHICH IS BLACK ARE LOST EQUALLY IN THE GREY OF IT
 friend to my brothers, but such as each of them shall deserve of me. And to earn my love, my brothers must do more than to have been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to be earned. I shall choose friends among men, but neither slaves nor masters. And I shall choose only such as please me, and them I shall love and respect, but neither command nor obey. And we shall join our hands when we wish, or walk alone when we so desire. For in the temple of his spirit, each man is alone. Let each man keep his temple untouched and undefiled. Then let him join hands with others if he wishes, but only beyond his holy threshold. For the word “We” must never be spoken, save by one’s choice and as a second thought. This word must never be placed first within man’s soul, else it becomes a monster, the root of all the evils on earth, the root of man’s torture by men, and of an unspeakable lie. UL THEIRS TO COVET I AM NEITHER FOE NOR FRIEND TO MY BROTHERS BUT SUCH AS EACH OF THEM SHALL DESERVE OF ME AND TO EARN MY LOVE MY BROTHERS MUST DO MORE THAN TO HAVE BEEN BORN I DO NOT GRANT MY LOVE WITHOUT REASON NOR TO ANY CHANCER BY WHO MAY WISH TO CLAIM IT I HONOUR MEN WITH MY LOVE BUT HONOR IS A THING TO BE EARNED I SHALL CHOOSE FRIENDS AMONG MEN BUT NEITHER SLAVE NOR MASTERS AND I SHALL CHOOSE ONLY SUCH AS PLEASE ME AND THEN I SHALL LOVE AND RESPECT BUT NEITHER COMMAND NOR OBEY AND WE SHALL JOIN OUR HANDS WHEN WE WISH OUR WALK ALONE WHEN WE SO DESIRE FOR IN THE TEMPLE OF HIS SPIRIT EACH MAN IS ALONE LET EACH MAN KEEP HIS TEMPLE UNTOUCHED AND UNDEFILED THEN LET HIM JOIN HANDS WITH OTHERS IF HE WISHES BUT ONLY BEYOND HIS HOLY THRESHOLD FOR THE WORD WE MUST NEVER BE SPOKEN SAVE BY ONE'S CHOICE AND AS SECOND THOUGHT THIS WORD MUST NEVER BE PLACED FIRST WITHIN MAN'S SOUL ELSE IT BECOMES A MONSTER THE ROOT OF ALL THE EVILS ON EARTH THE ROOT OF MAN'S TORTURE BY MEN AND AN UNSPEAKABLE LIE
