Albert Pike

Death is the inseparable antecedent of life the seed dies in order to produce the plant, and earth itself is rent asunder and dies at the birth of Dionusos. 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.
Albert Pike
Image
The common right is nothing more or less than the protection of all, pouring its rays on each. This protection of each by all, is Fraternity.
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.
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
We seem never to know what any thing means or is worth until we have lost it.

Phenomena are constantly folded back upon themselves.
Albert Pike
Image
The universal medicine for the Soul is the Supreme Reason and Absolute Justice for the mind, mathematical and practical Truth for the body, the Quintessence, a combination of light and gold.
Albert Pike
Image
There are greater and better things in us all, than the world takes account of, or than we take note of if we would but find them out.
Albert Pike
Image
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.
