  • Here is God's purpose - For God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper; is the articulation not the art, objective or subjective; is loving, not the abstraction "love" commanded or entreated; is knowledge dynamic, not legislative code, not proclamation law, not academic dogma, not ecclesiastic canon. Yes, God is a verb, the most active, connoting the vast harmonic reordering of the universe from unleashed chaos of energy.

    R. Buckminster Fuller (1967). “No More Secondhand God”, p.28, Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller
  • We are here as local information harvesters, local problem-solvers in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe. The fact that we get away from physical problems doesn't mean we go away from problems. The problems are really rarely physical.

    R. Buckminster Fuller “World Design Science Decade: Phase 1 Document 3”, Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller

    R. Buckminster Fuller (2008). “Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth”, p.69, Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller
  • What the scientists have always found by physical experiment was an a priori orderliness of nature, or Universe always operating at an elegance level that made the discovering scientist's working hypotheses seem crude by comparison. The discovered reality made the scientists exploratory work seem relatively disorderly.

  • You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all you experience to highest advantage to others. Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.

  • Take the initiative. Go to work, and above all co-operate and don't hold back on one another or try to gain at the expense of another. Any success in such lopsidedness will be increasingly short-lived. These are the synergetic rules that evolution is employing and trying to make clear to us. They are not man-made laws. They are the infinitely accommodative laws of the intellectual integrity governing universe.

    "Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth". Book by R. Buckminster Fuller, 1963.
  • 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.

    "I Seem to Be a Verb". Book by Buckminster Fuller, 1970.

    "Critical Path". Book by Buckminster Fuller, 1981.
  • I look for what needs to be done. After all, that's how the universe designs itself.

  • Universe is synergetic. Life is synergetic.

  • Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.

  • The procedure we are pursuing is that of true democracy. Semi-democracy accepts the dictatorship of a majority in establishing its arbitrary, ergo, unnatural, laws. True democracy discovers by patient experiment and unanimous acknowledgement what the laws of nature or universe may be for the physical support and metaphysical satisfaction of the human intellect's function in universe.

    R. Buckminster Fuller (2008). “Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth”, p.103, Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller
  • Universe is plural at minimum sixfold.

  • We find all the no-life-support-wealth-producing people going to their 1980s jobs in their cars and buses, spending trillions of dollars' worth of petroleum daily to get to their no-wealth-producing jobs. It doesn't take a computer to tell you that it will save both Universe and humanity trillions of dollars a day to pay them handsomely to stay at home.

    R. Buckminster Fuller (1982). “Critical Path”, p.53, Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller
