Anita Roddick Quotes

It’s about creating a product or service so good that people will pay for it. Now 30 years on The Body Shop is a multi local business with over 2.045 stores serving over 77 million customers in 51 different markets in 25 different languages and across 12 time zones. And I haven’t a clue how we got here! Picture Quote #1

Let me tell you how the French seduce you. They are the most bloody seductive people on Earth. They are charming, they are well-mannered and they praise and flatter you Picture Quote #1

Business itself is now the most powerful force for change in the world today, richer and faster by far than most governments. And what is it doing with this power? It is using free trade, the most powerful weapon at its disposal, to tighten its grip on the globe Picture Quote #1

Entrepreneurs are all a little crazy. There is a fine line between an entrepreneur and a crazy person. Crazy people see and feel things that others don’t. An entrepreneur’s dream is often a kind of madness, and it is almost as isolating. What differentiates the entrepreneur from the crazy person is that the former gets other people to believe in his vision Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Ninety-nine per cent of what we say is about values. I firmly believe that ethical capitalism is the best way of changing society for the better Picture Quote #1

Globalization is the complete opposite, its rules pit country against country and workers against workers in the blinkered pursuit of international competitiveness Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Retiring isn’t even a word I’d understand. Taking what makes you feel alive, and everyone’s looking for ways of making them feel alive, in whatever they do - relationships, business or work - and not just being a voice for a money making business Picture Quote #1

Advertising beauty products is easy. All you have to do is revile your customers by creating a disease called getting older, and then provide a remedy which does not work Picture Quote #1

The big question is: how do you institutionalize success and still keep that edge of craziness and wildeness? Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be defined by being the founder of the Body Shop, and I don’t want to be defined as a woman suffering from Hepatitis C. There’s more to my life than that Picture Quote #1

The growth of The Body Shop is testimony to the fact that you don’t need to waste money on costly advertising campaigns to be successful. Instead, we’ve always relied on word of mouth and stories Picture Quote #1

I have no interest in being the biggest, the most profitable or the largest retailer. I just want The Body Shop to be the best, most breathlessly exciting company - and one that changes the way business is carried out Picture Quote #1

My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That’s where it should be Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
