Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted  (Albert Pike Quotes) Phenomena are constantly folded back upon themselves  (Albert Pike Quotes) All religious expression is symbolism  (Albert Pike Quotes) The sovereignty of one’s self over one’s self is called Liberty  (Albert Pike Quotes) A war for a great principle ennobles a nation  (Albert Pike Quotes) A good man will find that there is goodness in the world; an honest man will find that there is honesty in the world; and a man of principle will find principle and integrity in the hearts of others.  (Albert Pike Quotes) 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 Quotes) We are all naturally seekers of wonders. We travel far to see the majesty of old ruins, the venerable forms of the hoary mountains, great waterfalls, and galleries of art. And yet the world’s wonder is all around us; the wonder of setting suns, and evening stars, of the magic spring-time, the blossoming of the trees, the strange transformations of the moth  (Albert Pike Quotes) 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?

We come at last to define spirit by saying that it is not matter  (Albert Pike Quotes) 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 Quotes) Justice to others and to ourselves is the same; that we cannot define our duties by mathematical lines ruled by the square, but must fill with them the great circle traced by the compasses  (Albert Pike Quotes) What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal  (Albert Pike Quotes) The eyes of the cheerful and of the melancholy man are fixed upon the same creation; but very different are the aspects which it bears to them  (Albert Pike Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire: not too near, lest he burn; nor too far off, lest he freeze  (Albert Pike Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes)
