Prince Charles
The less people know about what is really going on, the easier it is to wield power and authority.
Prince Charles

Prince Charles
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.

Prince Charles

Prince Charles
There's nothing like a jolly good disaster to get people to start doing something.
Prince Charles
