More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
War is the ultimate tool of politics.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is enough for everyone. People think that there isn't enough, so they get as much as they can, so many people don't have enough.
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
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
If man chooses oblivion, he can go right on leaving his fate to his political leaders. If he chooses Utopia, he must initiate an enormous education program - immediately, if not sooner.
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
There is room enough indoors in New York City for the whole 1963 world's population to enter, with room enough inside for all hands to dance the twist in average nightclub proximity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A proverb is much matter distilled into few words.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The question of integrity will get finer and finer and more delicate and more beautiful.
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
The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Man knows so much and does so little.
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
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
Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.
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
Integrity is the courage and self-discipline to cooperate and initiate according to the Divine, which you know in your heart as Truth.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is the integrity of each individual human that is in final examination. On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Bite your tongue. Get a cinder in your eye. When you feel good, you feel nothing.
R. Buckminster Fuller
