Two possible answers:

fair and square: noted in colloquial usage c. 1604 in both adjectival and adverbial manners, meaning honestly and straightforward. apparently Francis Bacon used the term in 1604. There is a good chance this originally derives from masonic phrases (ie from freemasonry). The builder's square, is considered a symbol of accuracy and rightness, and also of fairness and reciprocity in human relations; as in the sayings "a square deal", "fair and square", "on the square" and so on, not to mention "the right angle".


Fair and Foul: eg So foul and fair a day I have not seen. William Shakespeare, and from Macbeth the witches’ statement in Act 1, Scene1 that “fair is foul and foul is fair.” (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 10)

fair and square is the most likely answer
