Important quotes

– The Gita

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
― Marcus Aurelius

There are three classes of people:
Those who see,
Those who see when they are shown,
Those who do not see.

and the leaders of the crowd, in their own interests,
try to strengthen its fear and dislike of everything new and unknown.
The slavery in which mankind lives is based upon this fear.
— G. I. Gurdjieff
