R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
... reform the environment and not man being absolutely confident that if you give man the right environment, he will behave favorably.
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
Geniuses are just people who had good mothers.
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
