More quotes by Albert Pike
The common right is nothing more or less than the protection of all, pouring its rays on each. This protection of each by all, is Fraternity.
Albert Pike
That which we do for ourselves dies with us … that which we do for others lives forever.
Albert Pike
Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man's onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.

Albert Pike
Strange and mysterious name to give to the spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish souls? Doubt it not!
Albert Pike
Two forms of government are favorable to the prevalence of falsehood and deceit. Under a Despotism, men are false, treacherous, and deceitful through fear, like slaves dreading the lash.

Albert Pike
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Albert Pike
All the great and beneficent operations of Nature are produced by slow and often imperceptible degrees. The work of destruction and devastation only is violent and rapid.
Albert Pike
That which we say and do, if its effects last not beyond our lives, is unimportant.
Albert Pike
A war for a great principle ennobles a nation.
