The Three Great Principles That Freemasonry is Founded Upon

Brotherly Love 

Every true Freemason will show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures.

Truth

 Freemasons strive for truth, requiring high moral standards and aiming to achieve them in their own lives.Freemasons believe that these principles represent a way of achieving higher standards in life.

Relief

Freemasons are taught to practise charity, and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole, both by charitable giving, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals. From its earliest days, Freemasonry has been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick and the aged. This work continues today. In addition, large sums are given to national and local charities.
