 Masonic quotes by Brothers

A SIXTEEN-HOUR DAY

The Mason must be conscious of the fact that his is not an eight- but a sixteen hour work day.

No better measure of time has been devised than the division which every Entered Apprentice Mason learns. Each part is of equal importance. The happiness that we receive from life is measurable by the efforts that we expend not only in making a living, but more especially in contributing to life.

The very fact that we stand ready and alert for an opportunity to render an unselfish service, even if such an opportunity does not readily present itself, enriches our own life. But the attitude of heart and mind, to stand ready at all times, also creates the opportunity itself.

Many times we wonder why such a person can devote so much time to Masonry, to Church, and to other activities for good in the community. The answer is that such a person has made a proper division of time. Too, the more we do in the direction of good, the greater is the flow of divine energy.

In truth, it is the person who properly divides his day, and uses the sixteen-hour division, according to Masonic teachings, who is never weary.
