Context: Let no Fellow-Craft imagine that the work of the lowly and uninfluential is not worth the doing. There is no legal limit to the possible influences of a good deed or a wise word or a generous effort. Nothing is really small. Whoever is open to the deep penetration of nature knows this.

All works for all. Destruction is not annihilation, but regeneration.
“A picture is worth 1,000 denials.”

“Just like a picture is worth 1000 words, a camera phone is worth 1000 cell phones!”
