More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
I am a passenger on the spaceship Earth.
R. Buckminster Fuller
God is a verb, not a noun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If I ran a school, I'd give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I'd give the top grades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is enough for everyone. People think that there isn't enough, so they get as much as they can, so many people don't have enough.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The impossible happens.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Conceptuality is subjective realization is objective.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We were deliberately designed to learn only by trial and error. We're brought up, unfortunately, to think that nobody should make mistakes. Most children get de-geniused by the love and fear of their parents - that they might make a mistake. But all my advances were made by mistakes. You uncover what is when you get rid of what isn't.
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
The wave is not the water. The water merely told us about the wave moving by.
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
All children are born geniuses 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently degeniusized by grownups.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everyone is born a genius.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You either make sense or you make money.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Tension is the great integrity.
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
I see God in the instruments and the mechanisms that work reliably, more reliably than the limited sensory departments of the human mechanism.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Life is the spirit incarnate in time.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Selfishness is unnecessary. War is obsolete.
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
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
