More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Unity is plural and, at a minimum, is two.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The vector equilibrium is the true zero reference of the energetic mathematics. Zero pulsation in the vector equilibrium is the nearest approach we will ever know to eternity and god: the zero phase of conceptual integrity inherent in the positive and negative asymmetries that propagate the differentials of consciousness.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A new, self-employed architect scientist is the one in all the world who may accelerate realization of a high-standard survival for all, as now completely practical within the scope of available technology.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The question of integrity will get finer and finer and more delicate and more beautiful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Topology is the science of fundamental pattern and structural relationships of event constellations.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can rest assured that if you devote your time and attention to the highest advantage of others, the Universe will support you, always and only in the nick of time.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Consisting mostly of recirculating scrapped metals, 80% of all the metals that have ever been mined are still at work.
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
God is a verb, not a noun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Racism, pollution and the rest of it are themselves very close to extinction.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't change the man. Change his environment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Human beings are the only creatures on the planet that tell time and think they have to earn a living.
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
Humanity is now experiencing history's most difficult evolutionary transformation.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I look for what needs to be done
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
If man chooses oblivion, he can go right on leaving his fate to his political leaders. If he chooses Utopia, he must initiate an enormous education program - immediately, if not sooner.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Observation of my life to date shows that the larger the number for whom I work, the more positively effective I become. Thus, it is obvious that if I work always and only for all humanity, I will be optimally effective.
