 Masonic quotes by Brothers

REFRESHMENT

You have come to the time when labour is ended,

The Temple' s completed,
you look back to see

What you have done as through life you have wended,

Have you built a home f or eternity ?

As an Entered Apprentice served you your Master?

Did you serve Him with freedom,
fervency,
zeal,

As a bearer of burdens,
bring from the Quarries

Rough Ashlars to square for the Temple' s true weal ?

As a Fellowcraft labouring through h~nt of the day,

Applying the level and plumbline with care,  

The mallet and chisel your patience display;

Were your stones passed by overseer,
marked foursquare?

When a master did you your knowledge impart?

Dispense to the brethren the true light and love,

Impress truth and wisdom on every heart,

Preparing the way to the Grand Lodge above?
 
Some folks are mean,
just to he mean,
These cause all the strife,
And make things hard for those who wish To do their best through life.
 
Just think how much you feel the hurt When others do you wrong. Then you will do your best to aid And help the world along.
 
Two sides there are to everything,
Your view is just your own,
Life isn't run by two and two,
Each one must stand alone.
 
But standing thus alone you'll find,
If working each for each,
That we’ll attain the best in life,
Which seems now out of reach.
 
We view life's pattern underneath,
A jumbled cries‑crossed smear,
But God,
He sees it from above,
The pattern stands out clear.
 
Remember when you are being mean,
You hinder God's great plan,
Let's work with God and bring about The Brotherhood of Man.
