Albert Pike Quotes

The Law Of Our Being Is Love Of Life, And Its Interests And Adornments; Love Of The World In Which Our Lot Is Cast, Engrossment With The Interests And Affections Of Earth. Not A Low Or Sensual Love; Not Love Of Wealth, Of Fame, Of Ease, Of Power, Of Splendor. Not Low Worldliness; But The Love Of Earth As The Garden On Which The Creator Has Lavished Such Miracles Of Beauty; As The Habitation Of Humanity, The Arena Of Its Conflicts, The Scene Of Its Illimitable Progress, The Dwelling-place Of The Wise, The Good, The Active, The Loving, And The Dear; The Place Of Opportunity For The Development By Means Of Sin And Suffering And Sorrow, Of The Noblest Passions, The Loftiest Virtues, And The Tenderest Sympathies.
