By teaching others you will learn yourself.
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
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
Remember you come here having already understood the necessity of struggling with yourself — only with yourself. Therefore thank everyone who gives you the opportunity.
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
The man has the possibilities of getting free gradually from the mechanical laws.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Better to die than live in sleep.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Conscious faith is freedom. Emotional faith is slavery. Mechanical faith is foolishness.
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
From looking at your neighbor and realizing his true significance, and that he will die, pity and compassion will arise in you for him and finally you will love him.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Love without knowledge is demonic.
G. I. Gurdjieff
A miracle is not the breaking of physical laws, but rather represents laws which are incomprehensible to us.
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
Wish' is the most powerful thing in the world. Higher than God.
G. I. Gurdjieff
My way is to develop the hidden potentialities of man a way that is against Nature and against God.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Humanity is moving in a circle. The progress in mechanical things of the past hundred years has proceeded at the cost of losing many other things which perhaps were much more important for 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
Practice love first on animals, they are more sensitive.
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
What you need to know is very little, but to know that little takes very very much.
G. I. Gurdjieff
