More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
The vector equilibrium is the true zero reference of the energetic mathematics. Zero pulsation in the vector equilibrium is the nearest approach we will ever know to eternity and god: the zero phase of conceptual integrity inherent in the positive and negative asymmetries that propagate the differentials of consciousness.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I see God in the instruments and the mechanisms that work reliably, more reliably than the limited sensory departments of the human mechanism.
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War is obsolete.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
Does humanity have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on planet Earth, and if so, how?

R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well but their manners should be of the greatest concern.
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
Each one of us has something to contribute. This really depends on each one doing their own thinking, but not following any kind of rule.
R. Buckminster Fuller
One can study a caterpillar forever and never be able to predict a butterfly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Bite your tongue. Get a cinder in your eye. When you feel good, you feel nothing.
R. Buckminster Fuller
In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Conceptuality is subjective realization is objective.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The wave is not the water. The water merely told us about the wave moving by.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Ignorance and greed are part of the evolutionary process, which is just to say that mistakes are part of learning. There is nothing bad about behaviors or perceptions that do not work they simply have to be given up and replaced by behaviors or perceptions that do work.
R. Buckminster Fuller
