A Quote by William Howard Taft

The true Mason always carries his working tools everywhere. — © William Howard Taft
The true Mason always carries his working tools everywhere.
The true Mason's level of discernment increases with every use of the working tools, because the true Mason is ever working on him/her self.
The true Mason does not hold or teach the attitude that, I am a Master Mason now and thus I no longer need to be concerned with using the working tools because they were given in the earlier degrees.
The true Mason never hesitates to use the working tools to correct personal flaws.
Gradually the true Mason gains experience in using these working tools and can observe subtler and subtler indications of personal flaws.
A Christian is one who points at Christ and says, 'I can't prove a thing, but there's something about his eyes and his voice. There's something about the way he carries his head, his hands, the way he carries his cross-the way he carries me.'
The true Mason takes full responsibility for the condition of his character and ever strives for its perfection.
The true Mason ever strives to cultivate Masonry in his/her life to the fullest degree possible.
Matt Mason must be declared the poet laureate of the Midwest! No other native son celebrates the overlooked America, its unsung citizens (from the anonymous poets to the part-time English teachers), and its expansive indigenous landscape, as well as he does. Mason's poetry is humorous when he wants to be quirky, heartbreaking when he wants to be eloquent, and though he moves effortlessly into other moods and geographies, he always returns to his first and most enduring love (and to what he knows best)-his homeland.
I only hope that I can regain my own identity once I decide that 'Perry Mason' and myself have come to the parting of the road. 'Perry Mason' has become a career for me... all I know is that I work, eat and sleep 'Perry Mason.'
Speaking of River City in The Music Man & his home town, Mason City, Iowa: I didn't have to make up anything. I simply remembered Mason City as closely as I could.
I once knew it. I only hope that I can regain my own identity, once I decide that Perry Mason and myself have come to the parting of the road. Perry Mason has become a career for me . . . all I know is that I work, eat and sleep Perry Mason.
I hadn't gotten far when I ran into Mason. Good God. Men everywhere.
And yet one carries the sins of his forebears as one carries their features in his face. One bears their blood, and their honor or their blight.
I've always felt like I've had the tools to be a good defender - long and quick, still working on my strength - I feel like I've had the tools, I just have to go out there and do it.
The inner censor of the mind of the true believer completes the work of the public censor; his self-discipline is as tyrannical as the obedience imposed by the regime; he terrorizes his own conscience into submission;he carries his private Iron Curtain inside his skull, to protect his illusions against the intrusion of reality.
Hey Mason, wipe that drool off you face. If you're going to think about me naked, do it on your own time. -Rose to Mason
