More quotes by Albert Pike

Albert Pike
Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah.
Albert Pike
Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
Albert Pike
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.
Albert Pike

Albert Pike

Albert Pike
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
Will is the dynamic soul-force.
Albert Pike
Man is not to be comprehended as a starting-point, or progress as a goal, without those two great forces , Faith and Love . Prayer is sublime.
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
Everything actual must also first have been possible, before having actual existence.
Albert Pike
Almost all the noblest things that have been achieved in the world, have been achieved by poor men poor scholars, poor professional men, poor artisans and artists, poor philosophers, poets, and men of genius.
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
