More quotes by Albert Pike

Hence the significancy of the phallus, or of its inoffensive substitute, the obelisk, rising as an emblem of resurrection by the tomb of buried Deity at Lerna or at Sais.

That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Albert Pike
The sovereignty of one's self over one's self is called Liberty.
