R. Buckminster Fuller
Television is the third parent.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
It is not for me to change you. The question is, how can I be of service to you without diminishing your degrees of freedom?
R. Buckminster Fuller
War is obsolete. We are not here to fight something or tear something down We are here to be the example of what is possible. Any sane individual will tell you that violence is ... not the way.
R. Buckminster Fuller
War is the ultimate tool of politics.
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

R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't change the man. Change his environment.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
The most important thing about Spaceship Earth - an instruction book didn't come with it.
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
God is a verb, not a noun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Each one of us has something to contribute. This really depends on each one doing their own thinking, but not following any kind of rule.
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
You can't better the world by simply talking to it. Philosophy to be effective must be mechanically applied.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries. Corollary to this we find that we no sooner get a problem solved than we are overwhelmed with a multiplicity of additional problems in a most beautiful payoff of heretofore unknown, previously unrecognized, & as-yet unsolved problems.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You take the senses away, and there is no consciousness. Consciousness comes from experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly.
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
