More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Unchallenged, opinions became respected precedent then exceptionless concepts and sometimes even civil and academically accepted social law.
R. Buckminster Fuller
When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem.
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
It is the integrity of each individual human that is in final examination. On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate.
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
All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You take the senses away, and there is no consciousness. Consciousness comes from experience.
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
Ignorance and greed are part of the evolutionary process, which is just to say that mistakes are part of learning. There is nothing bad about behaviors or perceptions that do not work they simply have to be given up and replaced by behaviors or perceptions that do work.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Dolphins may well be carrying information as well as functions critical to the regeneration of life upon our planet.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Physics has found no straight lines. Instead, the physical universe consists of only waves undulating back and forth allowing for corrections and balance.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Our brains deal exclusively with special-case experiences.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Human beings are the only creatures on the planet that tell time and think they have to earn a living.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The wave is not the water. The water merely told us about the wave moving by.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is essential that anyone reading this book know at the outset that the author is apolitical. I was convinced in 1927 that humanity's most fundamental survival problems could never be solved by politics.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We will always have war until there is enough of every essential to support all lives everywhere around earth.
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
You can never learn less you can only learn more. The reason I know so much is because I have made so many mistakes.
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
