More quotes by 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
Technology paces industry, but there's a long lag in the process.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The most important thing about Spaceship Earth - an instruction book didn't come with it.
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
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
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
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
Television is the third parent.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Observation of my life to date shows that the larger the number for whom I work, the more positively effective I become. Thus, it is obvious that if I work always and only for all humanity, I will be optimally effective.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everyone has the perfect gift to give the world-and if each of us is freed up to give our unique gift, the world will be in total harmony.
R. Buckminster Fuller
War is the ultimate tool of politics.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Geniuses are just people who had good mothers.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.
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
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
Wealth is a measure of a person's ability to survive so many days forward.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A pattern has an integrity independent of the medium by virtue of which you have received the information that it exists.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented.
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
Wealth is the product of energy times intelligence: energy turned into artifacts that advantage human life.
R. Buckminster Fuller
