The square and compasses are perhaps the most recognizable symbols of Freemasonry. These tools of the stonemason represent fundamental Masonic principles. The square symbolizes morality, reminding Masons to square their actions with virtue. The compasses represent self-control and the importance of keeping one’s passions within due bounds. Together, they form a reminder of the balance between actions and desires, urging Masons to live a life of integrity and wisdom.
