More quotes by Albert Pike
The true Philosophy, known and practised by Solomon, is the basis on which Masonry is founded.
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
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
Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man's onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.
Albert Pike
Will is the dynamic soul-force.
Albert Pike

Under a Democracy they are so as a means of attaining popularity and office, and because of the greed for wealth.
Albert Pike
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
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
Masonry is identical with the Ancient Mysteries
Albert Pike
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
Know thou the self (spirit) as riding in a chariot, The body as the chariot. Know thou the intellect as the chariot-driver, And the mind as the reins. The senses, they say, are the horses The objects of sense, what they range over. The self combined with senses and mind Wise men call the enjoyer.
Albert Pike
All religious expression is symbolism.
Albert Pike
Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah.
Albert Pike
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
War is a series of catastrophes which result in victory.
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
We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
