What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have
done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the
di erences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war
must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the
political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of
Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International
Communism must become strong enough in order to balance
Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until
the time when we would need it for the nal social cataclysm.
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 In nity.
Albert Pike
That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which
make our hearts ache shall ll 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.

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? The Truth must be kept secret, and
the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason.
Albert Pike
What is the purpose for which Masonry exists? Its ultimate purpose is
the perfection of humanity. Mankind it self is still in a period of youth.
We are only now beginning to acquire a consciousness of the social
aim of civilization, which is man's perfection. Such perfection can
never end with physical perfection, which is only the means to the
end or spiritual perfection.
Albert Pike
Toleration, holding that every other man has the same right to his
opinion and faith that we have to ours; and liberality, holding that as
no human being can with certainty say, in the clash and con ict of
hostile faiths and creeds, what is truth, or that he is surely in
possession of it, so everyone should feel that it is quite possible that
another equally honest and sincere with himself, and yet holding the
contrary opinion, may himself be in possession of the truth.

It is not in the books of the Philosophers, but in the religious
symbolism of the Ancients, that we must look for the footprints of
Science, and re-discover the Mysteries of Knowledge.
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

The Blue Degrees are but the outer court...of the temple. Part of the
symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally
misled by false interpretation. It is not intended that he shall
understand them, but it is intended that he shall imagine that he
understands them...The true explanation is reserved for the Adepts,
the Princes of Masonry (those of the 32nd and 33rd degrees)
Albert Pike
Light, Masonry
Forever, Dies
The common right is nothing more or less than the protection of all,
pouring its rays on each. This protection of each by all, is Fraternity.
Albert Pike
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.

Albert Pike
All the great and bene cent operations of Nature are produced by
slow and often imperceptible degrees. The work of destruction and
devastation only is violent and rapid.
