Albert Pike
Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah.
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.
Albert Pike
We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Albert Pike
There are no temptations from which assailed virtue may not gain strength, instead of falling before them, vanquished and subdued.
Albert Pike
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

Albert Pike
That which we do for ourselves dies with us … that which we do for others lives forever.
Albert Pike
The spoken discourse may roll on strongly as the great tidal wave but, like the wave, it dies at last feebly on the sands.

It is the written human speech, that gave power and permanence to human thought.
Albert Pike
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
Will is the dynamic soul-force.
Albert Pike
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
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.
Albert Pike
Reverence for greatness dies out, and is succeeded by base envy of greatness.
Albert Pike
Everything actual must also first have been possible, before having actual existence.
Albert Pike
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
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
The doctrines of the Bible are often not clothed in the language of strict truth, but in that which was fittest to convey to a rude and ignorant people the practical essentials of the doctrine.
