More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If I ran a school, I'd give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I'd give the top grades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We were deliberately designed to learn only by trial and error. We're brought up, unfortunately, to think that nobody should make mistakes. Most children get de-geniused by the love and fear of their parents - that they might make a mistake. But all my advances were made by mistakes. You uncover what is when you get rid of what isn't.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The pyramids, attached with age, have forgotten the names of their founders.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are most probably here for local information-gathering and local-Universe problem-solving in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is the integrity of each individual human that is in final examination. On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Conceptuality is subjective realization is objective.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Racism, pollution and the rest of it are themselves very close to extinction.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Unity is plural and, at a minimum, is two.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well but their manners should be of the greatest concern.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What humans have spontaneously identified as good and bad - or as positive and negative - are evolutionary complementations in need of more accurate identifications.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't fight forces, use them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All children are born geniuses 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently degeniusized by grownups.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Are you spontaneously enthusiastic about everyone having everything you can have?
R. Buckminster Fuller
The opposite of nature is impossible.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and omni-inclusive, with no exceptions. Love, like synergetics, is nondifferentiable, i.e., is integral.
R. Buckminster Fuller
