More quotes by 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.

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
Remember you come here having already understood the necessity of struggling with yourself — only with yourself. Therefore thank everyone who gives you the opportunity.

A miracle is not the breaking of physical laws, but rather represents laws which are incomprehensible to us.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West-and then seek.
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
If a sufficient number of people who wanted to stop war really did gather together, they would first of all begin by making war upon those who disagreed with them. And it is still more certain that they would make war on people who also want to stop wars but in another way.

Never think of results, just do!
