More quotes by Albert Pike
That which we do for ourselves dies with us … that which we do for others lives forever.
Albert Pike
Less glory is more liberty. When the drum is silent, reason sometimes speaks.
Albert Pike
Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
Albert Pike
Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah.
Albert Pike
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
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
One man is equivalent to all Creation. One man is a World in miniature.
Albert Pike
Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion and its teachings are instruction in religion.
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
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
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
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
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
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Albert Pike
Two forms of government are favorable to the prevalence of falsehood and deceit. Under a Despotism, men are false, treacherous, and deceitful through fear, like slaves dreading the lash. Under a Democracy they are so as a means of attaining popularity and office, and because of the greed for wealth.
Albert Pike
The sovereignty of one's self over one's self is called Liberty.
Albert Pike
The eyes of the cheerful and of the melancholy man are fixed upon the same creation but very different are the aspects which it bears to them.
Albert Pike
Reverence for greatness dies out, and is succeeded by base envy of greatness.
Albert Pike
The Universe should be deemed an immense Being, always living, always moved and always moving in an eternal activity inherent in itself, and which, subordinate to no foreign cause, is communicated to all its parts, connects them together, and makes the world of things a complete and perfect whole.
Albert Pike
Hypocrisy is the homage that vice and wrong pay to virtue and justice .
