Ann Richards
I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.
Ann Richards
Osteoporosis is a disease that attacks the bones in your body. It happens to really almost everyone when they get really old. But for women, after menopause, they can lose up to 30 percent of their bone mass.
Ann Richards
I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house.' I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, 'She opened government to everyone.'
Ann Richards
July does not a November election make.
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
Teaching was the hardest work I had ever done, and it remains the hardest work I have done to date.
Ann Richards
One of the most valuable lessons I learned...is that we all have to learn from our mistakes, and we learn from those mistakes a lot more than we learn from the things we succeeded in doing.
