G. I. Gurdjieff
What is possible for individual man is impossible for the masses.
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.

G. I. Gurdjieff
Every ceremony or rite has a value if it is performed without alteration. A ceremony is a book in which a great deal is written. Anyone who understands can read it. One rite often contains more than a hundred books.
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
With thorns in the inner world there will always be roses in the outer world, in law-able compensation.
G. I. Gurdjieff
If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in one hundred years, but you will be helped. Nature must pay off the debt. It is a mathematical law and all life is mathematics.
G. I. Gurdjieff
What you need to know is very little, but to know that little takes very very much.
