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:
“I had rather believe all the fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind; and, therefore, God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“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)
“No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I would in rich and golden coloured raine,
With tempting showers in pleasant sort discend,”
—Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)
