Anita Roddick
Mess with nature and it will mess right back.
Anita Roddick
To succeed you have to believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.
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
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
You can't change t he wor ld f rom t he rear view mir ror.

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.

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.

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
The aging process is fascinating because it doesn't disturb me, because this is what it is supposed to be like. But I'll tell you what does - it's the lack of strength - you can't hold up suitcases and do it yourself. Loss of physical strength.

Economic globalization creates wealth, but only for the elite who benefit from the surge of consolidations, mergers, global scale technology, and financial activity.
Anita Roddick
Speed, agility and responsiveness are the keys to future success.
Anita Roddick
The freedom that comes with globalization is freedom for the rich and powerful nations to further exploit and further marginalize those at the bottom of the social ladder.
Anita Roddick
the function of wealth is not to accumulate it but to give it away as productively and responsibly as you can.
Anita Roddick
If you really didn't ever want to get wrinkles, then you should have stopped smiling years ago!
Anita Roddick
When your back is against the wall financially, creative juices flow.
Anita Roddick
I think that business practices would improve immeasurably if they were guided by feminine pinciples, qualities like love, care, and intuition.
Anita Roddick
The predominant idea behind globalization, in its most virulent form, is an unpleasant kind of social Darwinism - that the world is for winners not losers, that only the successful count, that money is considerably more important than votes.
Anita Roddick
Women are storytellers, they are communicators. They'll go and sit around a table and talk about their first date, their first smoke, their first lipstick, whatever it is. Those rituals of life, marriages and death aren't part of the language of men.
Anita Roddick
You educate people, especially young people, by stirring their passions, so you take every opportunity to grab the imagination of your employees, you get them to feel they are doing something important, that they are not a lone voice, that they are the most powerful and potent people on the planet.
