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
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
Image
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.

One man is equivalent to all Creation. One man is a World in miniature.

Image
I took my obligations from white men, not from negroes. When I have to accept negroes as brothers or leave masonry, I shall leave it
Albert Pike
Image
To work with the hands or brain, according to our requirements and our capacities, to do that which lies before us to do, is more honorable than rank and title.
Albert Pike
Image
That which we do for ourselves dies with us … that which we do for others lives forever.
Albert Pike
Image
Before God manifested Himself, when all things were still hidden in Him... He began by forming an imperceptible point that was His own thought. With this thought He then began to construct a mysterious and holy form... the Universe.

Image
Everything actual must also first have been possible, before having actual existence.
Albert Pike
Image
For it is true now, as it always was and always will be, that to be free is the same thing as to be pious, to be wise, to be temperate and just, to be frugal and abstinent, and to be magnanimous and brave and to be the opposite of all these is the same as to be a slave.

Be prudent, diligent, temperate and discreet. Remember that every human being has a claim upon your kind offices.

Image
True thoughts have duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the seed is enduring if the seed endures, the energy endures if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure. The spirit is thought thought is the heart the heart is the fire the fire is the Elixir.
Albert Pike
Image
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.

Will is the dynamic soul-force.
