Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
If I had to choose my driving force, it would be passion.
Anita Roddick
You persuade people with passion, so you've got to have a product or service you feel emotionally charged about. Then you can tell stories about it that will inspire others.
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
We can't have self-government without the self-confidence that is at the root of it.
Anita Roddick
Get informed. Get outraged. Get inspired. Get active.
Anita Roddick
Not all revolutionaries set out to change the world per se some set out to change their own worlds. And in so doing, they often change the way one person, or a few people, or whole communities, or entire nations or the world thinks and operates in some significant way.
Anita Roddick
