R. Buckminster Fuller

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
I have spent most of my life unlearning things that were proved not to be true
