Right now I am a passenger on space vehicle Earth zooming about the Sun at 60,000 miles per hour somewhere in the solar system.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The difference between mind and brain is that brain deals only with memorized, subjective, special-case experiences and objective experiments, while mind extracts and employs the generalized principles and integrates and interrelates their effective employment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Integrity is the courage and self-discipline to cooperate and initiate according to the Divine, which you know in your heart as Truth.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You take the senses away, and there is no consciousness. Consciousness comes from experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
