Quite apart from anything else, my experience is trying to change things for the better makes you feel better, healthier. Humans are communicative animals: when you do good in a community, the benefits eventually get back to you.

You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message.
Anita Roddick
How can you ennoble the spirit when you are selling something as inconsequential as a face cream?
Anita Roddick
If I had to name a driving force in my life, I would name PASSION every time
Anita Roddick
The beauty and the fashion industry want to control you. And the way that they do it through your body. So once they control your body they control your purse and the products you buy. Its a fantastic strategy and it's working.
Anita Roddick
Never feel too small or powerless to make a difference.
Anita Roddick
You've got so many groups that have no voice in this world - the indigenous, the poor. So how can I use the resources that I have and bring them up, highlight them. And it's not that difficult. It's just choosing and concentrating and focusing.
Anita Roddick
The trouble with the new world we have watched being created over the past decade is that it sees no further than money. People have always been obsessed with money, of course - greed is as old as history. But when the institutions that govern all our lives forget there was ever anything else, then it gets dangerous.
Anita Roddick
We were most creative when our back was against the wall.
Anita Roddick
Maybe this is what the future will look like: fresh, clean water will be so rare it will be guarded by armies. Water as the next oil - the next resource worth going to war over.
Anita Roddick
The bigger you grow, the more intimate communication has to be. It almost has to be belly and belly. As you get bigger and bigger in an organization, everything gets more and more detached and everything is on email or voicemail. That's the worse thing because lack of intimacy is one of the downsides (of growth).
Anita Roddick
It is true that there is a fine line between entrepreneurship and insanity. Crazy people see and feel things that others don't. But you have to believe that everything is possible. If you believe it, those around you will believe it too.
Anita Roddick
First, you have to have fun. Second, you have to put love where your labour is. Third, you have to go in the opposite direction to everyone else.
Anita Roddick
There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.
Anita Roddick
I'd have opened a bloody library if I'd wanted to be quiet.
Anita Roddick
By creating conversation, we let our customers spread our message by word of mouth.
Anita Roddick
A woman in advancing old age is unstoppable by any earthly force. I love it.
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
I wake up every morning thinking...this is my last day. And I jam everything into it. There's no time for mediocrity. This is no damned dress rehearsal.
Anita Roddick
If you pretend that business is beyond morality, that's the kind of morality you get.
Anita Roddick
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Anita Roddick
