The Secret of the Occult Sciences is that of Nature itself, the Secret of the generation of the Angels and Worlds, that of the Omnipotence of God .
Albert Pike
Image
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
Image
Let us drink together, fellows, as we did in days of yore. And still enjoy the golden hours that Fortune has in store The absent friends remembered be, in all that’s sung or said, And Love immortal consecrate the memory of the dead.
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
The true Philosophy, known and practised by Solomon, is the basis on which Masonry is founded.
Albert Pike
Image
A war for a great principle ennobles a nation.
Albert Pike
Image
Force, unregulated or ill-regulated, is not only wasted in the void, like that of gunpowder burned in the open air, and steam unconfined by science but, striking in the dark, and its blows meeting only the air, they recoil, and bruise itself.

Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries
Albert Pike
Image
We live our little life but Heaven is above us and all around and close to us and Eternity is before us and behind us and suns and stars are silent witnesses and watchers over us. We are enfolded by Infinity.
Albert Pike
Image
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
Image
Pride is not the heritage of man humility should dwell with frailty, and atone for ignorance, error, and imperfection.
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
Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
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
Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion and its teachings are instruction in religion.
Albert Pike
Image
Masonry is not a religion. He who makes of it a religious belief, falsifies and denaturalizes it.
Albert Pike
Image
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
Image
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.

That which we do for ourselves dies with us … that which we do for others lives forever.
