Sir Francis Bacon - Of Great Place

"For honor is, or should be, the place of virtue; and as in nature things move violently to their place and calmly in their place, so virtue in ambition is violent, in authority settled and calm.

All rising to great place is by a winding stair; and if there be factions, it is good to side a man’s self whilst he is in the rising, and to balance himself when he is placed."

- Sir Francis Bacon

Revelation

Understanding the questions leads to a revelation.

Worshipful Gavel

worshipful (adj.)

Old English worðscip, wurðscip (Anglian), weorðscipe (West Saxon) "condition of being worthy, dignity, glory, distinction, honor, renown," from weorð "worthy" (see worth) + -scipe (see -ship). 

The original sense is preserved in the title worshipful "honorable" (c. 1300).

No wonder we give this guy a gavel...

How can casting something dark help to maintain light?

Emblem of Innocence

If our apron is considered an
"Emblem of Innocence"
how does this apply to being
"The Badge of a Mason?"

Checkered Floor

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word  'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."

- C.G. Jung
