Anita Roddick died today at the age of 64. Mrs. Roddick was and will continue to be a huge inspiration for idUnited.

Here are some quotes from Anita that inspired me,.. I hope they’ll do the same for you >

“In terms of power and influence, you can forget the church and forget politics too. There is no more powerful institution in society than business. It is more important then ever before for business to assume a moral leadership in society”

“The prevailing view of trade could be described as commerce without conscience. And conscience is the key way out.”

“There are so many aspects of life that can’t be reduced to an entry in a balance book and our survival depends on remembering this.”

“The business of business should not just be about money, it should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed.”

“We need to measure progress by human development, not gross national product.”

“Progress has taught us more about our physical selves, but how much do we really know about our souls?”

“The next time you go shopping, demand more change.”

“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.”
