61 " Lo desconocido es un océano, cuya brújula es la consciencia. Pensamiento, meditación, oración, son los grandes señalamientos misteriosos de su aguja. "
― Albert Pike , Moral y Dogma del Rito Escocés Antiguo y Aceptado de la Masonería : Grados de Aprendiz, Compañero y Maestro
62 " Be laborious," it says, "like the Star, and procure the light of the Sages, and hide yourself from the Stupid Profane and the Ambitious, and be like the Owl, which sees only by night, and hides itself from treacherous curiosity. "
― Albert Pike , Morals and Dogma (Illustrated)
63 " Another jewel is necessary for you, and in certain undertakings cannot be dispensed with. It is what is termed the Kabalistic pentacle... This carries with it the power of commanding the spirits of the elements. It is necessary for you to know how to use it, and that you will learn by perseverance if you are a lover of the science of our predecessors the Sages. "
― Albert Pike , Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
64 " It is not even in extraordinary situations, where all eyes are upon us, where all our energy is aroused, and all our vigilance is awake, that the highest efforts of virtue are usually demanded of us; but rather in silence and seclusion, amidst our occupations and our homes; in wearing sickness, that makes no complaint; in sorely-tried honesty, that asks no praise; in simple disinterestedness, hiding the hand that resigns its advantage to another. "
65 " Wherever a heart beats with love, wherever Faith and Reason utter their oracles, there is God, as formerly in the hearts of seers and prophets. No soil on earth is so holy as the good man’s heart. "
