Some of us are just less damaged than others.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are operating at an overall mechanical efficiency of only four percent... Therefore, we find that if we increase the overall mechanical efficiency to only twelve percent we can take care of everybody. That three-fold increase in the overall efficiency can only be accomplished by redesign.
R. Buckminster Fuller
By and large, I seem to have made more mistakes than any others of whom I know, but have learned thereby to make ever swifter acknowledgment of the errors and thereafter immediately set about to deal more effectively with the truths disclosed by the acknowledgment of erroneous assumptions.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Right now I am a passenger on space vehicle Earth zooming about the Sun at 60,000 miles per hour somewhere in the solar system.

R. Buckminster Fuller
Dictators never invent their own opportunities.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I look for what needs to be done
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
Racism, pollution and the rest of it are themselves very close to extinction.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Ignorance and greed are part of the evolutionary process, which is just to say that mistakes are part of learning. There is nothing bad about behaviors or perceptions that do not work they simply have to be given up and replaced by behaviors or perceptions that do work.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Tension is the great integrity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Our little Spaceship Earth is only eight thousand miles in diameter, which is almost a negligible dimension in the great vastness of space.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A pattern has an integrity independent of the medium by virtue of which you have received the information that it exists.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented.
R. Buckminster Fuller
One can study a caterpillar forever and never be able to predict a butterfly.
