R. Buckminster Fuller Life Quotations

How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.

I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.

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.

The minute you begin to do what you really want to do, it's really a different kind of life.

We should stop kidding ourselves. We should let go of things that aren't true. It's always better with the truth.

Don't try to make me consistent. I am learning all the time.

Love is metaphysical gravity.

The highest of generalizations is the synergetic integration of truth and love.

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.

Life is the spirit incarnate in time.

Universe is synergetic. Life is synergetic.
