G. I. Gurdjieff

Sincerity is the key which will open the door through which you will see your separate parts, and you will see something quite new. You must go on trying to be sincere. Each day you put on a mask, and you must take it off little by little.
G. I. Gurdjieff
What you need to know is very little, but to know that little takes very very much.
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
With thorns in the inner world there will always be roses in the outer world, in law-able compensation.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Never think of results, just do!
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
The first reason for people's slavery is our ignorance, and above all, our ignorance of ourselves.
G. I. Gurdjieff
That which is easy is bad for your inner life.
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
By teaching others you will learn yourself.
