Ann Richards
Weight-bearing exercise builds bone density, builds your muscular strength so that you can hold your body up where those bones have a tendency to get weak.
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
I've always told my children that life is like a layer cake. You get to put one layer on top of the other, and whether you frost it or not is up to you.
Ann Richards
