Time began when you were born. It will end when you die.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Better to die than live in sleep.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change. And in observing himself a man notices that self-observation itself brings about certain changes in his inner processes. He begins to understand that self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. Nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. Understanding depends upon the relation of knowledge to being...It appears only when a man feels and senses what is connected with it.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Consciousness is a state in which a man knows all at once everything that he in general knows and in which he can see how little he does know and how many contradictions there are in what he knows.
G. I. Gurdjieff

G. I. Gurdjieff
Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Remember yourself always and everywhere.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West-and then seek.
G. I. Gurdjieff
A miracle is not the breaking of physical laws, but rather represents laws which are incomprehensible to us.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
G. I. Gurdjieff
To know means to know all. Not to know all means not to know. In order to know all, it is only necessary to know a little. But, in order to know this little, it is first necessary to know pretty much.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Blessed is he who has a soul, blessed is he who has none, but woe and grief to him who has it in embryo.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Hope of consciousness is strength. Hope of feelings is slavery. Hope of body is disease.
G. I. Gurdjieff
The first fundamental law of the universe is the law of three forces, of three principles, or , as it is often called, the law of three. According to this law every action, every phenomenon in all worlds without exception, is the result of a simultaneous action of three forces- the positive, the negative, and the neutralizing.
G. I. Gurdjieff
The first reason for people's slavery is our ignorance, and above all, our ignorance of ourselves.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Listen, you have now found the conditions in which the desire of your heart can become the reality of your being. Stay here, until you acquire a force in you that nothing can destroy. Then you'll need to go back into life, and there you will measure yourself constantly with forces which will show you your place.
G. I. Gurdjieff
What is possible for individual man is impossible for the masses.
G. I. Gurdjieff
The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and 'consciousness' cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and 'will' cannot evolve involuntarily.
G. I. Gurdjieff
He who has gotten rid of the disease of tomorrow has a chance of achieving what he is here for.
G. I. Gurdjieff
