More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and omni-inclusive, with no exceptions. Love, like synergetics, is nondifferentiable, i.e., is integral.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Integrity is the essence of everything successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Racism, pollution and the rest of it are themselves very close to extinction.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Pollution is nothing but resources we're not harvesting.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is new design by architects versus world revolution by political leadership.
R. Buckminster Fuller
With our minds alone we can discover those principles we need to employ to convert all humanity to success in a new, harmonious relationship with the universe.
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
Either war is obsolete, or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Unity is plural and, at a minimum, is two.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is something patently insane about all the typewriters sleeping with all the beautiful plumbing in the beautiful office buildings -and all the people sleeping in the slums.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.
R. Buckminster Fuller
None of the world's problems will have a solution until the world's individuals become thoroughly self-educated.
R. Buckminster Fuller
As long as one human being is hungry, the entire human race is hungry.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries. Corollary to this we find that we no sooner get a problem solved than we are overwhelmed with a multiplicity of additional problems in a most beautiful payoff of heretofore unknown, previously unrecognized, & as-yet unsolved problems.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Technology paces industry, but there's a long lag in the process.
R. Buckminster Fuller
People never leave a sinking ship until they see the lights of another ship approaching.
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
Human beings are the only creatures on the planet that tell time and think they have to earn a living.
R. Buckminster Fuller
God is a verb, not a noun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
