Book Review of "Meetings With Remarkable Men" by G.I. Gurdjief

p. 39
First - To love one's parents
Second - To remain chaste.
Third - To be outwardly courteous to all without distinction,
whether they be rich or poor, friends or enemies,
power-possessors or slaves, and to whatever religion
they may belong, but inwardly to remain free and
never put much trust in anyone or anything.
Fourth - To love work for work's sake and not for its gain.

"Further, I am really convinced that in the world no conscious work is ever wasted. Sooner or later someone must pay for it. Consequently, if I now work in this way, I achieve two of my aims. First, I shall perhaps teach my nature not to be lazy, and secondly, I will provide for my old age."
