Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.
Albert Pike
Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man's onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.
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

Albert Pike
