Other companies would say I'm taking risks, but that's my path - it doesn't feel like risk to me.
Anita Roddick
Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before. Herodotus, historian If I had to name a driving force in my life, I'd name passion every time.

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
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 I can't do something for the public good, what the hell am I doing?
Anita Roddick
The market controls everything, but the market has no heart.
Anita Roddick
A great advantage I had when I started The Body Shop was that I had never been to business school.
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
The most exciting thing happening in business is the rise of vigilante consumers.
