My way is to develop the hidden potentialities of man a way that is against Nature and against God.
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
Better to die than live in sleep.
G. I. Gurdjieff
What you need to know is very little, but to know that little takes very very much.
G. I. Gurdjieff

G. I. Gurdjieff
Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change.

G. I. Gurdjieff
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Believe nothing, not even yourself.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Practice love first on animals, they are more sensitive.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West-and then seek.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Two things in life are infinite the stupidity of man and the mercy of God.
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
He who has gotten rid of the disease of tomorrow has a chance of achieving what he is here for.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Conscious faith is freedom. Emotional faith is slavery. Mechanical faith is foolishness.
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
