What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Albert Pike (1809-1891) American author, orator, jurist, Freemason

Quotations by:
Pike, Albert
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.
Albert Pike (1809-1891) American author, orator, jurist, Freemason
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.
Albert Pike (1809-1891) American author, orator, jurist, Freemason
Morals and Dogma, ch. 2 (1871)
