R. Buckminster Fuller
Unity is plural and, at a minimum, is two.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The opposite of nature is impossible.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Wealth is the product of energy times intelligence: energy turned into artifacts that advantage human life.
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
As long as one human being is hungry, the entire human race is hungry.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
...primarily the individual is going to study at home.
