William Shakespeare
“Prince, thou art
sad. Get thee a wife, get thee a wife. There is no staff more
reverend than one tipped with horn.”
William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

R. Buckminster Fuller
“All the present bureaucracies of political governments, great religious organizations, and all big businesses find that physical success for all humanity would be devastating to the perpetuation of their ongoing activities. This is because all of them are founded on the premise of ameliorating individual cases while generally exploiting on behalf of their respective political, religious, or business organizations the condition of no-where-nearly-enough-life-support-for-all and its resultant great human suffering and discontent.”
Richard Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path

Oscar Wilde
“We Irish are too poetical to be poets; we are a nation of brilliant failures, but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks.”
Oscar Wilde

R. Buckminster Fuller
“Pollution is nothing but resources we're not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.”
R. Buckminster Fuller, I Seem to Be a Verb

R. Buckminster Fuller
“There is no joy equal to that of being able to work for all humanity and doing what you're doing well.”
R. Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path
