R. Buckminster Fuller
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
R. Buckminster Fuller
By and large, I seem to have made more mistakes than any others of whom I know, but have learned thereby to make ever swifter acknowledgment of the errors and thereafter immediately set about to deal more effectively with the truths disclosed by the acknowledgment of erroneous assumptions.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Integrity is the essence of everything successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Relativity is inherently convergent, though convergent toward a plurality of centers of abstract truths.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The more we learn the more we realize how little we know.
R. Buckminster Fuller
As long as one human being is hungry, the entire human race is hungry.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The synergetic integral of the totality of all principles is God, whose sum-total behavior in pure principle is beyond our comprehension and is utterly mysterious to us, because as humans--in pure principle--we do not and never will know all the principles
