Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.
From Anita Roddick
I believe in businesses where you engage in creative thinking, and where you form some of your deepest relationships. If it isn't about the production of the human spirit, we are in big trouble.
But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.
If I had learned more about business ahead of time, I would have been shaped into believing that it was only about finances and quality management.
The end result of kindness is that it draws people to you.
If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.
There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.
Over the past decade... while many businesses have pursued what I call 'business as usual,' I have been part of a different, smaller business movement, one that tried to put idealism back on the agenda.
Look at the Quakers - they were excellent business people that never lied, never stole; they cared for their employees and the community which gave them the wealth. They never took more money out than they put back in.
