I have always found that my view of success has been iconoclastic: success to me is not about money or status or fame, its about finding a livelihood that brings me joy and self-sufficiency and a sense of contributing to the world.

Free trade holds much of the blame for continued international conflict. Markets are said to possess wisdom that is somehow superior to man. Those of us in business who travel in the developing world see the results of such western wisdom and have a rumbling disquiet about much of what our economic institutions have bought into.
Anita Roddick

Internationalism means that we can see into the dark corners of the world, and hold those companies to account when they are devastating forests or employing children as bonded labour. Globalization is the complete opposite, its rules pit country against country and workers against workers in the blinkered pursuit of international competitiveness.
Anita Roddick
If you've got a partner that's supportive and you're doing something you enjoy it doesn't ever become a job or a burden. Its about community, new friendships, support mechanism.
Anita Roddick
There are 3 billion women in the world who don't look like supermodels and only 8 that do.
Anita Roddick
Make heroes out of the employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
When you run an entrepreneurial business, you have hurry sickness - you don't look back, you advance and consolidate. But it is such fun
Anita Roddick
I think it is completely immoral for a shop to trade in the middle of a community, to take money and make profits from that community and then ignore the existence of that community, its needs and problems.
Anita Roddick
The next time you go shopping, demand more change.
Anita Roddick
If I had to choose my driving force, it would be passion.
Anita Roddick
Communication is the key for any global business.
Anita Roddick
When you take the high moral road it is difficult for anyone to object without sounding like a complete fool.
