More quotes by Albert Pike
One man is equivalent to all Creation. One man is a World in miniature.
Albert Pike
A good man will find that there is goodness in the world an honest man will find that there is honesty in the world and a man of principle will find principle and integrity in the hearts of others.
Albert Pike
Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries
Albert Pike
The spoken discourse may roll on strongly as the great tidal wave but, like the wave, it dies at last feebly on the sands. It is heard by few, remembered by still fewer, and fades away, like an echo in the mountains, leaving no token of power. It is the written human speech, that gave power and permanence to human thought.
Albert Pike
Justice to others and to ourselves is the same that we cannot define our duties by mathematical lines ruled by the square, but must fill with them the great circle traced by the compasses
Albert Pike
The Word of God is the universal and invisible Light, cognizable by the senses, that emits its blaze in the Sun, Moon, Planets, and other Stars.
Albert Pike
The sources of our knowledge of the kabalistic doctrines are the books of Yetzirah and Zohar, the former drawn up in the second century, and the latter a little later but they contain materials much older than themselves...In them, as in the teachings of Zoroaster, everything that exists emanates from a source of infinite Light.
Albert Pike
That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Albert Pike
There are greater and better things in us all, than the world takes account of, or than we take note of if we would but find them out.
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
The true Philosophy, known and practised by Solomon, is the basis on which Masonry is founded.
Albert Pike
Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.
Albert Pike
I took my obligations from white men, not from negroes. When I have to accept negroes as brothers or leave masonry, I shall leave it
Albert Pike
Work only can keep even kings respectable.
Albert Pike
We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Albert Pike
If the effort also is predestined, it is not the less our effort, made of our free will.
Albert Pike
True thoughts have duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the seed is enduring if the seed endures, the energy endures if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure. The spirit is thought thought is the heart the heart is the fire the fire is the Elixir.
Albert Pike
The sovereignty of one's self over one's self is called Liberty.
Albert Pike
War is a series of catastrophes which result in victory.
Albert Pike
Justice is peculiarly indispensable to nations . The unjust State is doomed of God to calamity and ruin. This is the teaching of the Eternal Wisdom and of history .
