Aude Aliquid Dignum Dare Something Worthy

“Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make-
Ere life has flown-
A stumbling block
Or a stepping stone”

The second spelling, while incorrect, lets us make way more "union" jokes about the Templars, though. ;)

And depending on how high their dues were, it explains their eventual demise much more thoroughly... ;)
