More quotes by 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
The impossible happens.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
I look for what needs to be done
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller

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War is obsolete.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
By 2000, politics will simply fade away. We will not see any political parties.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't fight forces, use them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Unchallenged, opinions became respected precedent then exceptionless concepts and sometimes even civil and academically accepted social law.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There are no solids. There are no things. There are only interfering and non-interfering patterns operative in pure principle, and principles are eternal.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Only our minds are able to discover the generalized principles operating without exception in each and every special-experience case which if detected and mastered will give knowledgeable advantage in all instances.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
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
Integrity is the essence of everything successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
