“Few will have the greatness to bend
history itself, but each of us can work to
change a small portion of events. It is from
numberless diverse acts of courage and
belief that human history is shaped.
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or
acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes
out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny
ripple of hope, and crossing each other
from a million different centers of energy
and daring those ripples build a current
which can sweep down the mightiest walls
of oppression and resistance.”
Robert F. Kennedy
“Ripples of Hope Speech”
Cape Town, South Africa, 1966

Attracting Thought Leaders
“The rise of B Corps is a reminder that the idea that corporations should
be only lean, mean, profit-maximizing machines isn’t dictated by the
inherent nature of capitalism, let alone by human nature. As individuals,
we try to make our work not just profitable but also meaningful. It may be
time for more companies to do the same.”
“B Corporations are a way to transcend the contradictions between the
ineffective parts of the social sector and myopic capitalism.”
“The benefit-corporation concept is an experiment, and it’s too soon to know
how it will fare. My guess is that it will be a big success, because it can inspire
loyalty, cooperation and real purpose, which helps create profits, too.”
“We may be witnessing the beginning of a return to a form of
capitalism that was taken for granted in America sixty years
ago.”
