“We always give the public their heroes, we give the heroes to every faction and the people, once they hear this person say all the right things, we give releases to them because he or she speaks for me, that's how we rationalize it and we sit back and re-guide it again, we say go here and go do that and they do it, we give our power to the authorized heroes." - Morals and Dogma of the ancient and accepted Scottish rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike, 1871
