"The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Freemasonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it."

About Adam Weishaupt
Adam Weishaupt (1748-1830) was a German philosopher and founder of the secret society known as the Illuminati. Born in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Weishaupt was a professor of law and gained a keen interest in Enlightenment philosophy. In 1776, he established the Order of the Illuminati, aiming to promote Enlightenment ideals of reason, secularism, and progressive social reform. The society's clandestine nature and alleged anti-monarchical objectives led to its suppression by the Bavarian government in the late 1780s.
