R. Buckminster Fuller
Human beings were given a left foot and a right foot to make a mistake first to the left, then to the right, left again and repeat.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction.
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
Don't change the man. Change his environment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
For at least 2,000,000 years men have been reproducing and multiplying on a little automated spaceship called earth.
