G. I. Gurdjieff

G. I. Gurdjieff

G. I. Gurdjieff
Believe nothing, not even yourself.
G. I. Gurdjieff
That which is easy is bad for your inner life.
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
Only super-efforts count.
G. I. Gurdjieff
What is possible for individual man is impossible for the masses.
G. I. Gurdjieff

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
From my point of view, he can be called a remarkable man who stands out from those around him by the resourcefulness of his mind, and who knows how to be restrained in the manifestations which proceed from his nature, at the same time conducting himself justly and tolerantly towards the weaknesses of others.
G. I. Gurdjieff
To know all, it is necessary to know very little but to know that very little, one must first know pretty much.
G. I. Gurdjieff
My way is to develop the hidden potentialities of man a way that is against Nature and against God.
