Man's real genius and knowledge remains preserved in books
Albert Pike
Image
Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other.
Albert Pike
Image
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
Image
We seem never to know what any thing means or is worth until we have lost it.
Albert Pike
Image
Masonry is not a religion. He who makes of it a religious belief, falsifies and denaturalizes it.
Albert Pike
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Less glory is more liberty. When the drum is silent, reason sometimes speaks.
Albert Pike
Image
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

The doctrines of the Bible are often not clothed in the language of strict truth, but in that which was fittest to convey to a rude and ignorant people the practical essentials of the doctrine.
Albert Pike
Image
Force, unregulated or ill-regulated, is not only wasted in the void, like that of gunpowder burned in the open air, and steam unconfined by science but, striking in the dark, and its blows meeting only the air, they recoil, and bruise itself.
Albert Pike
Image
Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion and its teachings are instruction in religion.
Albert Pike
Image
We Masons are among the fortunate ones who are taught to meet together with others opposing convictions or competitive ideas and yet respect each other as Brothers.
Albert Pike
Image
There are no temptations from which assailed virtue may not gain strength, instead of falling before them, vanquished and subdued.
Albert Pike
Image
Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah.
Albert Pike
Image
The universal medicine for the Soul is the Supreme Reason and Absolute Justice for the mind, mathematical and practical Truth for the body, the Quintessence, a combination of light and gold.
Albert Pike
Image
Everything actual must also first have been possible, before having actual existence.
Albert Pike
Image
To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General (33rd Degree Masons), we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees: 'The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.'
