R. Buckminster Fuller
A new, self-employed architect scientist is the one in all the world who may accelerate realization of a high-standard survival for all, as now completely practical within the scope of available technology.
R. Buckminster Fuller
War is obsolete. We are not here to fight something or tear something down We are here to be the example of what is possible. Any sane individual will tell you that violence is ... not the way.

R. Buckminster Fuller
You can't change the way people think, all you can do is give them a tool, the use of which will change their thinking.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
To ask a politician to lead us is to ask the tail of a dog to lead the dog.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It seemed that the time would come evolutionarily when humans might have acquired enough knowledge of generalized principles to permit a graduation from class-two (entropically selfish) evolution into class-one (syntropically cooperative) evolution, thereafter making all the right moves for all the right reasons.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Does humanity have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on planet Earth, and if so, how?
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are most probably here for local information-gathering and local-Universe problem-solving in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
R. 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.
R. Buckminster Fuller
