Albert Pike
That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness.

We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Albert Pike

Albert Pike
If the effort also is predestined, it is not the less our effort, made of our free will.
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
One man is equivalent to all Creation. One man is a World in miniature.
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
Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.
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
