More quotes by Albert Pike
That which we say and do, if its effects last not beyond our lives, is unimportant.
Albert Pike
We avoid sensuousness, only by resorting to simple negation. We come at last to define spirit by saying that it is not matter.
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
Fictions are necessary for the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance. In fact, what can there be in common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The Truth must be kept secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason.
Albert Pike
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.'
Albert Pike
Will is the dynamic soul-force.
Albert Pike
A dim consciousness of infinite mystery and grandeur lies beneath all the commonplace of life . There is an awfulness and a majesty around us, in all our little worldliness .
Albert Pike
Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah.
Albert Pike
Man's real genius and knowledge remains preserved in books
Albert Pike
A war for a great principle ennobles a nation. A war for commercial supremacy, upon some shallow pretext, is despicable, and more than aught else demonstrates to what immeasurable depths of baseness men and nations can descend.
Albert Pike
Man is encompassed with a dome of incomprehensible wonders. In him and about him is that which should fill his life with majesty and sacredness. Something of sublimity and sanctity has thus flashed down from heaven into the heart of every one that lives.
Albert Pike
Man is not to be comprehended as a starting-point, or progress as a goal, without those two great forces , Faith and Love . Prayer is sublime.
Albert Pike
It is most true, that Truth is a Divine attribute and the foundation of every virtue. To be true, and to seek to find and learn the Truth, are the great objects of every good Mason.
Albert Pike
Know thou the self (spirit) as riding in a chariot, The body as the chariot. Know thou the intellect as the chariot-driver, And the mind as the reins. The senses, they say, are the horses The objects of sense, what they range over. The self combined with senses and mind Wise men call the enjoyer.
Albert Pike
Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
Albert Pike
It is not in the books of the Philosophers, but in the religious symbolism of the Ancients, that we must look for the footprints of Science, and re-discover the Mysteries of Knowledge.
Albert Pike
The true Philosophy, known and practised by Solomon, is the basis on which Masonry is founded.
Albert Pike
That which we do for ourselves dies with us … that which we do for others lives forever.
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
Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries
