More quotes by 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
You either make sense or you make money.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What the scientists have always found by physical experiment was an a priori orderliness of nature, or Universe always operating at an elegance level that made the discovering scientist's working hypotheses seem crude by comparison. The discovered reality made the scientists exploratory work seem relatively disorderly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Life is the spirit incarnate in time.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I am deeply impressed with the designer of the universe I am confident I couldnt have done anywhere near such a good job.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Only the free-wheeling artist-explorer, non-academic, scientist-philosopher, mechanic, economist-poet who has never waited for patron-starting and accrediting of his co-ordinate capabilities holds the prime initiative today.
R. Buckminster Fuller
God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't attempt to reform man. An adequately organized environment will permit humanity's original, innate capabilities to become successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The question of integrity will get finer and finer and more delicate and more beautiful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
That which is communicated, i.e., understood, is metaphysical. The means of communication is physical.
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
Each one of us has something to contribute. This really depends on each one doing their own thinking, but not following any kind of rule.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You have to decide whether you want to make money or make sense, because the two are mutually exclusive.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Bite your tongue. Get a cinder in your eye. When you feel good, you feel nothing.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Fire is the Sun unwinding from the tree's log.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Man is going to be displaced altogether as a specialist by the computer. Man himself is being forced to reestablish, employ, and enjoy his innate 'comprehensivity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
God is the great comprehensive a priori integrity of Universe within which human beings find themselves to be operating.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All of humanity is in peril of extinction if each one of us does not dare, now and henceforth, always to tell only the truth, and all the truth, and to do so promptly - right now.
R. Buckminster Fuller
