I find myself born into this particular position. I'm determined to make the most of it. And to do whatever I can to help. And I hope I leave things behind a little bit better than I found them.
Prince Charles
Image
As human beings we suffer from an innate tendency to jump to conclusions to judge people too quickly and to pronounce them failures or heroes without due consideration of the actual facts and ideals of the period.
Prince Charles

The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa - slightly off balance.
Prince Charles

Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all, if people don't want it, they won't have it.

Your greatest achievement is to love me.

If you think about your and my grandchildren, this is what really worries me. I don't want them - if I'm still alive by then - to say, 'Why didn't you do something about it?', when you could have done.

Business is recognizing the role it can play in combatting climate change. Thank God, is all I can say, for there is a desperately urgent need for business to play that role.
