More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Man knows so much and does so little.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more. The reason I know so much is because I have made so many mistakes.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The Universe consists of non-simultaneously apprehended events.
R. Buckminster Fuller
That which is communicated, i.e., understood, is metaphysical. The means of communication is physical.
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
The more we learn the more we realize how little we know.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It seemed that the time would come evolutionarily when humans might have acquired enough knowledge of generalized principles to permit a graduation from class-two (entropically selfish) evolution into class-one (syntropically cooperative) evolution, thereafter making all the right moves for all the right reasons.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Only the free-wheeling artist-explorer, non-academic, scientist-philosopher, mechanic, economist-poet who has never waited for patron-starting and accrediting of his co-ordinate capabilities holds the prime initiative today.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Controlled time is our true wealth.
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
Whether humanity is to comprehensively prosper...depends entirely on the integrity of the human individuals and not on the political and economic systems. The cosmic question has been asked: are humans worthwhile to universe invention?
R. Buckminster Fuller
Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.
R. Buckminster Fuller
With our minds alone we can discover those principles we need to employ to convert all humanity to success in a new, harmonious relationship with the universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A problem adequately stated is a problem solved theoretically and immediately, and therefore subsequently to be solved, realistically.
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
Either war is obsolete, or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Does humanity have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on planet Earth, and if so, how?
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
It is the integrity of each individual human that is in final examination. On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate.
R. Buckminster Fuller
...doing more with less.
R. Buckminster Fuller
