By teaching others you will learn yourself. - George Gurdjieff

You have dogs within you, you must become their master. If you find the animal that is within you, you can understand it. It is not a matter of scolding the animal, it is part of you. You must get to know its nature: it barks, it attacks; but if you understand it, and love it, it will be pleased to serve you, it will not have to be on the defensive, because it will feel loved, understood and it will love you.

...The cassock is to hide a fool.
He is deep down, because you are high up.
If the priest goes to the right, then the teacher must without fail turn to the left.
If a man is a coward, it proves he has will.
A man is satisfied not by the quantity of food, but by the absence of greed.
Truth is that from which conscience can be at peace. In the dark a louse is worse than a tiger.
Once you can shoulder it, it's the lightest thing in the world. A representation of Hell—a stylish shoe.
He is stupid who is 'clever'.
Happy is he who sees not his unhappiness.
The teacher is the enlightener, who then is the ass?
If you are first, your wife is second; if your wife is first, you had better be zero: only then will your hens be safe.
If you wish to be rich, make friends with the police.
If you wish to be famous, make friends with the reporters.
If you wish to be full, make friends with your mother-in-law.
If you wish to have peace, make friends with your neighbour.
If you wish to sleep, make friends with your wife.
If you wish to lose your faith, make friends with the priest.

I wish to speak about the overall unity of all that exists - about unity in multiplicity. I wish to show you two or three facets of a precious crystal, and to draw your attention to the pale images faintly reflected in them.
