More by 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.”

“It is the greatest mistake to think that man is always one and the same. A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour.”

“Man has no permanent and unchangeable I. Every thought, every mood, every desire, every sensation, says "I.”

“A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.”

“In properly organized groups no faith is required; what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while, for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.”

“Only help him who is not an idler.”
