More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
God is a verb, not a noun.
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
The vector equilibrium is the true zero reference of the energetic mathematics. Zero pulsation in the vector equilibrium is the nearest approach we will ever know to eternity and god: the zero phase of conceptual integrity inherent in the positive and negative asymmetries that propagate the differentials of consciousness.
R. Buckminster Fuller
For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. Only ten years ago the 'more with less' technology reached the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option to become enduringly successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is only one revolution tolerable to all men, all societies, all political systems: Revolution by design and invention.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If man chooses oblivion, he can go right on leaving his fate to his political leaders. If he chooses Utopia, he must initiate an enormous education program - immediately, if not sooner.
R. Buckminster Fuller
In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.
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
If we design the environment properly It will permit both child and adult to develop safely And to behave logically.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It seemed that the time would come evolutionarily when humans might have acquired enough knowledge of generalized principles to permit a graduation from class-two (entropically selfish) evolution into class-one (syntropically cooperative) evolution, thereafter making all the right moves for all the right reasons.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Ninety-nine percent of humanity does not know that we have the option to make it economically on this planet and in the Universe. We do.
R. Buckminster Fuller
[My vision is] To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is an effective strategy open to architects. Whereas doctors deal with the interior organisms of man, architects deal with the exterior organisms of man. Architects might join with one another to carry on their work in laboratories as do doctors in anticipatory medicine.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Wealth is a measure of a person's ability to survive so many days forward.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What has not been clear is that the potential of this emergency-born technology has always accrued to human's prewar individual initiatives taken in a humble but irrepressible progression of assumptions, measurements, deductions, and codifications of pure science.
R. Buckminster Fuller
