More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. Only ten years ago the 'more with less' technology reached the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option to become enduringly successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The dark ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. This Dark Ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. Instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I am deeply impressed with the designer of the universe I am confident I couldnt have done anywhere near such a good job.
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
What has not been clear is that the potential of this emergency-born technology has always accrued to human's prewar individual initiatives taken in a humble but irrepressible progression of assumptions, measurements, deductions, and codifications of pure science.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everyone is born a genius.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't change the man. Change his environment.
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
It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
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
Consisting mostly of recirculating scrapped metals, 80% of all the metals that have ever been mined are still at work.
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
God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If we design the environment properly It will permit both child and adult to develop safely And to behave logically.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Ideas are easy to come by reduction to practice is an arduous but inspirationally rewarding matter.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Dolphins may well be carrying information as well as functions critical to the regeneration of life upon our planet.
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
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
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
