Masonic Quotations

Love to hear of any Masonic quotations you have. I'll start with one:

"Those who speak of irregularity are forced to throw a veil over their
own origins and do not forget they were the irregular yesterday"

I heard this one today, Worshipful Joe...."Worry not about the empty seat in your lodge...Worry about the empty experiences that led to it."-Dyson Jeda

Sometimes W.Bro Dyson, we have to step back and make some very tough and emotional decisions for the betterment of oneself and The Craft in particular.

.what you have seen praiseworthy in others, you should carefully imitate; and what in them may have appeared defective, you should in yourselves amend.
When I was a young man I often asked myself why the men that I admired most were much different than myself. It finally dawned on me that maybe I should change my ways and actions to better reflect the the traits that I so admired.

The most important operative working tool of the Speculative Freemasons Lodge is not the square, compass nor even the level; it's the telephone!

WHY DID YOU KNOCK
I once requested to enter in
A place unknown a place within
I had a guide, cause I was blind
I could not see what was inside
Instructions given to knock three times
So I obeyed, and did it thrice
Before I knew a sound was made
A door flew open, admission gained
Escorted in, conductors path
To different places I could not grasp
Three times they asked, was it my choice
I said, "it is", in nervous voice
Once this had ended, I came again
Once more to enter a second day
After it all, I was requested
To come once more, complete the lesson
On my third time, I did not know
That I must die a death untold
But to explain what happen then
It was a miracle I rose again.
The mysteries, of arts, of Mind
Philosophies that prove divine
To seek and learn the lessons told
Improve yourself, a voice had echoed
It came so clear, why I had asked
To enter in, the door of paths
Subconscious thoughts an endless clock
In all I realized, why I had knocked

Are you walking in light

A very similar quote is to be found in Preston's Illustrations
Also in the (public) Lecture to the Wardens in many Preston Webb rituals
