More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller

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

Thou mayest as well expect to grow stronger by always eating as wiser by always reading. Too much overcharges Nature, and turns more into disease than nourishment. 'Tis thought and digestion which makes books serviceable, and give health and vigor to the mind.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Nature does have manure and she does have roots as well as blossoms, and you can't hate the manure and blame the roots for not being blossoms.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
I have spent most of my life unlearning things that were proved not to be true
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
People never leave a sinking ship until they see the lights of another ship approaching.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Tombs are the clothes of the dead and a grave is a plain suit while an expensive monument is one with embroidery.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The Universe consists of non-simultaneously apprehended events.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can't better the world by simply talking to it. Philosophy to be effective must be mechanically applied.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Wealth is the product of energy times intelligence: energy turned into artifacts that advantage human life.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
