Quotations by ...
Albert Pike (1809-1891) American Freemason
Life is what we make it, and the world is what we make it. 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.
¶ Morals and Dogma, ch. 12 (1871)
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.
¶ Morals and Dogma, ch. 2 (1871)
