More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
That which is communicated, i.e., understood, is metaphysical. The means of communication is physical.
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
You can't change anything by fighting or resisting it. You change something by making it obsolete through superior methods.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Relativity is inherently convergent, though convergent toward a plurality of centers of abstract truths.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a 'higher standard of living than any have ever known.' It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary and henceforth unrationalizable as mandated by survival.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The opposite of nature is impossible.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The more we learn the more we realize how little we know.
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
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Windmills installed around the world converting their direct current into alternating current and feeding the electric energy into the world network can harvest the planet Earth's prime daily energy income source-the wind--and adequately supply all the world's energy needs
R. Buckminster Fuller
Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less.
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
Are you spontaneously enthusiastic about everyone having everything you can have?
R. Buckminster Fuller
A pattern has an integrity independent of the medium by virtue of which you have received the information that it exists.
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
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
Initiative can neither be created nor delegated. It can only spring from the self-determining individual, who decides that the wisdom of others is not always better than his own.
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
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
