More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Controlled time is our true wealth.
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
Everyone is born a genius.
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
...primarily the individual is going to study at home.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Unchallenged, opinions became respected precedent then exceptionless concepts and sometimes even civil and academically accepted social law.
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
Whether we are able to be a complete success or failure is in such critical balance that every smallest human test of integrity every smallest moment-to-moment decision tips the scales affirmatively or negatively.
R. Buckminster Fuller
By the time you are 88 years old, you have consumed 300 tons of food, air and water.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What the scientists have always found by physical experiment was an a priori orderliness of nature, or Universe always operating at an elegance level that made the discovering scientist's working hypotheses seem crude by comparison. The discovered reality made the scientists exploratory work seem relatively disorderly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
People never leave a sinking ship until they see the lights of another ship approaching.
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
Some of us are just less damaged than others.
R. Buckminster Fuller
In order for a world-around democracy to prosper, world society must learn how to prosper.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Technologically we now have four [seven!] billion billionaires on board Spaceship Earth who are entirely unaware of their good fortune.
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
Out of my general world-pattern-trend studies there now comes strong evidence that nothing is going to be quite so surprising and abrupt in the future history of man as the forward evolution in the educational process.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well but their manners should be of the greatest concern.
R. Buckminster Fuller
