Anita Roddick
Whatever you do, be different - that was the advice my mother gave me, and I can't think of better advice for an entrepreneur. If you're different, you will stand out.

Anita Roddick
I want to define success by redefining it. For me it isn't that solely mythical definition - glamour, allure, power of wealth, and the privilege from care. Any definition of success should be personal because it's so transitory. It's about shaping my own destiny.
Anita Roddick
if companies are in business solely to make money, no consumer can fully trust what they do or say.
Anita Roddick
I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses and made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently . . . This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.
Anita Roddick
To succeed you have to believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.
Anita Roddick
All through history, there have always been movements where business was not just about the accumulation of proceeds but also for the public good.
Anita Roddick
Any business or enterprise that shaves away loneliness is going to last forever. And like it or not but we've got a lonely society.
Anita Roddick
the most powerful bodies in the world, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, are also the least democratic and inclusive.
