Work only can keep even kings respectable.
Albert Pike

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.

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.

Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
Albert Pike
Image
We do not see and estimate the relative importance of objects so easily and clearly from the level or the waving land as from the elevation of a lone peak, towering above the plain for each looks through his own mist.
Albert Pike
Image
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
Image
The unconsidered act of the poorest of men may fire the train that leads to the subterranean mine, and an empire be rent by the explosion.

Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries
Albert Pike
Image
The word well spoken, the deed fitly done, even by the feeblest or humblest, cannot help but have their effect. More or less, the effect is inevitable and eternal.
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
Almost all the noblest things that have been achieved in the world, have been achieved by poor men poor scholars, poor professional men, poor artisans and artists, poor philosophers, poets, and men of genius.
