R. Buckminster Fuller
Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.
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War is obsolete.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
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
God is the great comprehensive a priori integrity of Universe within which human beings find themselves to be operating.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I have great hope for tomorrow. My hope lies in three things-truth, youth, and love.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The more we learn the more we realize how little we know.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The self-commissioned architect is the obviously exclusive potential - for as at present used, or designed, the world's resources are serving only forty-four per cent of humanity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
With our minds alone we can discover those principles we need to employ to convert all humanity to success in a new, harmonious relationship with the universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
One can study a caterpillar forever and never be able to predict a butterfly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
...doing more with less.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The synergetic integral of the totality of all principles is God, whose sum-total behavior in pure principle is beyond our comprehension and is utterly mysterious to us, because as humans--in pure principle--we do not and never will know all the principles
