Quotes by Albert Pike

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal."

"We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light."

"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."
