More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
I look for what needs to be done
R. Buckminster Fuller
Human beings were given a left foot and a right foot to make a mistake first to the left, then to the right, left again and repeat.
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
[My vision is] To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Love is metaphysical gravity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
In order for a world-around democracy to prosper, world society must learn how to prosper.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The synergetic integral of the totality of all principles is God, whose sum-total behavior in pure principle is beyond our comprehension and is utterly mysterious to us, because as humans--in pure principle--we do not and never will know all the principles
R. Buckminster Fuller
Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Our brains deal exclusively with special-case experiences.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Thou mayest as well expect to grow stronger by always eating as wiser by always reading. Too much overcharges Nature, and turns more into disease than nourishment. 'Tis thought and digestion which makes books serviceable, and give health and vigor to the mind.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Specialization is in fact only a fancy form of slavery wherein the 'expert' is fooled into accepting a slavery by making him feel that he in turn is a socially and culturally preferred-ergo, highly secure-lifelong position.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We must start with scientific fundamentals, and that means with the data of experiments and not with assumed axioms predicated only upon the misleading nature of that which only superficially seems to be obvious. It is the consensus of great scientists that science is the attempt to set in order the facts of experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Geniuses are just people who had good mothers.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Education by choice, with its marvelous motivating psychology of desire for truth, will make life ever cleaner and happier, more rhythmical and artistic.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
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
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... HOW WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I DO?
R. Buckminster Fuller
All children are born geniuses 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently degeniusized by grownups.
R. Buckminster Fuller
