More quotes by Ann Richards
Poor George [Bush], he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.
Ann Richards
We're living in a whole new social and economic order with a whole new set of problems and challenges. Old assumptions and old programs don't work in this new society and the more we try to stretch them to make them fit, the more we will be seen as running away from what is reality.
Ann Richards

Ann Richards

Ann Richards
There is a special mystique to Texas. Texans represent many things to the uninitiated: We are bigger than life in our boots and Stetsons, rugged individualists whose two-steppin' has achieved world-wide acclaim, and we were the first to define hospitality.
Ann Richards
Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.
Ann Richards
[Our understanding is] not intellectual, but instinctive.
Ann Richards
One of the truths of our time is the hunger deep in people are over the planet for coming into relationship with each other.
Ann Richards
If you can't fill the till, then don't pass the bill.
Ann Richards
I have an awfully good life.
Ann Richards
I'm against an income tax because all the rich people hire lawyers and accountants to be sure that they don't pay income tax.
Ann Richards
Oh, I would probably have raised more hell.
Ann Richards
After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.
