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.Albert Pike
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 commence with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Albert Pike

Albert Pike
He who endeavors to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashedinto 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 thecurrent... Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success.
Albert Pike
