Edgar Guest - Show Me!Edgar Guest - Show Me!
Work rating: Medium


I would rather see a Mason, than hear one any day, I would rather one would walk with me than merely show the way. The eye`s a better pupil and more willing than the ear, Fine counsel is confusing, but example`s always clear. And the best of all the Masons are the men who live their creeds, For to see the good in action is what everybody needs. I can soon learn how to do it if you`ll let me see it done, I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run. And the lectures you deliver may be wise and true, But I`d rather get my lesson by observing what you do. For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give, But there`s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
