“Architects, if they are really to be comprehensive, must assume the enormous task of thinking in terms always disciplined to the scale of the total world pattern of needs, its resource flows, its recirculatory and regenerative processes.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller, Ideas and Integrities: A Spontaneous Autobiographical Disclosure
"Dare to think. And dare to go with the truth. And dare to really love completely." ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
“Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking." ~R. Buckminster Fuller
“Geniuses are just people who had good mothers.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else." ~Buckminster Fuller
“Human beings always do the most intelligent thing…after they’ve tried every stupid alternative and none of them have worked” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
“I am a passenger on the spaceship Earth.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"I am convinced that creativity is a priori to the integrity of the universe and that life is regenerative and conformity meaningless.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller, I Seem To Be A Verb
“I am enthusiastic over humanity’s extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity. If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday’s fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
“I'm not trying to counsel any of you to do anything really special except dare to think. And to dare to go with the truth. And to dare to really love completely.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
“If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"If we dump all the machinery and take the knowledge we have in the ocean within six months humanity will die. If we dump all the politician all around the world in the ocean everything will go along very nicely.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
“If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
“Integrity is the essence of everything successful.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"It is new design by architects versus world revolution by political leadership.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller, Ideas and Integrities: A Spontaneous Autobiographical Disclosure
“Love is omni-inclusive, progressively exquisite, understanding and compassionately attuned to other than self.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"Many creatures have brains. Man alone has mind." ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
“Most importantly we have learned that from here on it is success for all or none, for it is experimentally proven by physics that "unity is plural and at minimum two" - the complementary but not mirror-imaged proton and neutron. You and I are inherently different and complimentary. Together we average as zero - that is, as eternity.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth
“Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.” ~Richard 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, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, 1963 (1895-1983)
"The highest of generalizations is the synergetic integration of truth and love." ~Buckminster Fuller
“There is an effective strategy open to architects. Whereas doctors deal with the interior organisms of man, architects deal with the exterior organisms of man. Architects might join with one another to carry on their work in laboratories as do doctors in anticipatory medicine.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller, Ideas and Integrities: A Spontaneous Autobiographical Disclosure
"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~Richard. 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." ~Buckminster Fuller
“We as economic society are going to have to pay our whole population to go to school and pay it to stay at school.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller, Education Automation: Freeing the Scholar to Return to His Studies
"When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty... but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.” ~Richard Buckminster Fuller
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality." ~Buckminster Fuller
