Albert Pike Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There are no temptations from which assailed virtue may not gain strength, instead of falling before them, vanquished and subdued Picture Quote #1

There are greater and better things in us all, than the world takes account of, or than we take note of; if we would but find them out Picture Quote #1

The word well spoken, the deed fitly done, even by the feeblest or humblest, cannot help but have their effect. More or less, the effect is inevitable and eternal Picture Quote #1

That which we say and do, if its effects last not beyond our lives, is unimportant Picture Quote #1

If the effort also is predestined, it is not the less our effort, made of our free will Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Virtue is but heroic bravery, to do the thing thought to be true, in spite of all enemies of flesh or spirit, in despite of all temptations or menaces Picture Quote #1

A dim consciousness of infinite mystery and grandeur lies beneath all the commonplace of life. There is an awfulness and a majesty around us, in all our little worldliness Picture Quote #1

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 heard by few, remembered by still fewer, and fades away, like an echo in the mountains, leaving no token of power. It is the written human speech, that gave power and permanence to human thought Picture Quote #1

Be prudent, diligent, temperate and discreet. Remember that every human being has a claim upon your kind offices Picture Quote #1

That which we do for ourselves dies with us … that which we do for others lives forever Picture Quote #1

Pride is not the heritage of man; humility should dwell with frailty, and atone for ignorance, error, and imperfection Picture Quote #1

That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commenced with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light Picture Quote #1

He who endeavors to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed into angry waves by the winds. Often they roar over his head, often they beat him back and baffle him. Most men yield to the stress of the current... Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success Picture Quote #1

We seem never to know what any thing means or is worth until we have lost it Picture Quote #1
