Royal Arch Degree

Famous quotes containing the words royal, arch and/or degree:

    “All hail! the pow’r of Jesus’ Name;
    Let angels prostrate fall;
    Bring forth the Royal Diadem,
    To crown Him Lord of all.”
    —Edward Perronet (1726–1792)

    “An arch never sleeps.”
    —East Indian saying.

    “Take but degree away, untune that string,
    And hark what discord follows!
    ...
    Force should be right, or, rather, right and wrong—
    Between whose endless jar justice resides—
    Should lose their names, and so should justice too.
    Then everything includes itself in power,
    Power into will, will into appetite;
    And appetite, an universal wolf,
    So doubly seconded with will and power,
    Must make perforce an universal prey,
    And last eat up himself.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
