The Universal Mixed Grand Lodge (Grande Loge mixte or GLMU) is a French Masonic jurisdiction, formed by a split in the French federation of Le Droit Humain by those who felt that this jurisdiction's Supreme Council was too important in the jurisdiction's functioning (though the first attempts at its creation date back to 1913, with the creation of a Symbolic Mixed Grand Lodge that also felt this).
Famous quotes containing the words universal, mixed, grand and/or lodge:
“We can most safely achieve truly universal tolerance when we respect that which is characteristic in the individual and in nations, clinging, though, to the conviction that the truly meritorious is unique by belonging to all of mankind.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it ... and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied ... and it is all one.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)
“The grand Perhaps! We look on helplessly,
There the old misgivings, crooked questions are.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“As yields no mercy to desert,
Nor grace to those that crave it.
Sweet sun, when thou lookest on,
Pray her regard my moan;
Sweet birds, when you sing to her,
To yield some pity, woo her;”
—Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)
