Now we Democrats believe that America is still the country of fair play, that we can come out of a small town or a poor neighborhood and have the same chance as anyone else, and it doesn't matter whether we are black or Hispanic, or disabled or women.
Ann Richards
Oh, I would probably have raised more hell.
Ann Richards
I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it.
Ann Richards
You bet being funny helps accomplish things. I've always maintained that people don't realize how many brain cells it takes to be funny. And politics ought to be fun -- after baseball it's our next favorite national pastime.
Ann Richards
We're not going to have the America that we want until we elect leaders who are going to tell the truth - not most days, but every day.
Ann Richards
