Barney Quotations

I was single for six years and during those six years I went back to college and got my degree in Social Work and then... while I was single... Barney came here to Portsmouth on vacation.

They came out over the highway and they stopped and that's when Barney got out, with the binoculars to try and identify the craft. I mean, he'd been in the military in World War Two, he's puzzled.

Some of the attitudes of Barney are certainly attitudes I share, but not all.

Barney was interested in bringing professional boxing back to Northern Ireland in a big way.

I mean you might say he had a travelling post office, but also Barney was very, very active. He was a legal officer for the NAACP and they had a lot of problems after Pease.

My favorite country blues player was Big Bill Broonzy. City blues was Freddie King, but I liked them all - Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Ralph Willis, Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee and the three Kings, B.B., Albert and Freddie. Jazz-wise, I listened to Django, Barney Kessel and Wes Montgomery.

By the time we went to Doctor Simon I think Barney had been totally disabled for at least six months.

Mainly, I thought of Barney as a kid. You can always look into the faces of kids and see what they're thinking, if they're happy or sad. That's what I tried to do with Barney.

My first-ever concert was the Barney concert when I was, like, six. My mum took me because I was obsessed with Barney. Barney was actually my first crush... He's, like, literally better than all the guys in the whole world.

One of the first members of Congress I met when I was first elected in 2008 was Barney Frank.

I have always loved the character of Barney Fife.

I think Citigroup is one of the best ways to play the rising middle class around the world. It's obviously one of the premiere global plays in the financial services sector. Now with a combination of Salomon Smith Barney and Travelers, it reaches all different aspects of the financial services market and obviously it's a global play.

Those years when I used Barney were the best experience I had in the business. It was great doing him in films and on Andy Griffith.

Whenever Don Knotts and I were waiting for lighting cues, we would sing hymns in harmony, ... The show depicted Barney as tone deaf, but Don has a beautiful tenor voice.

To the extent that fund companies had operations in the World Trade Center, they typically have backup files, so there shouldn't be any problems. Beyond that, the question is what happened to key investment personnel, and the initial response seems to be good. Oppenheimer Funds had offices in that building, and most of their personnel seems to be accounted for. And all personnel from Salomon Smith Barney was evacuated from 7 World Trade Center before it collapsed.

Both teams had to make critical plays defensively. Obviously, Kelly Labor's a great player, but they have other great players - Ann Barney and some of those kids. We didn't want to end up in a 1-on-1 situation. We always had players sliding across.

You gotta let a guy be himself, because that's what makes him. Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, all of them had the same attitude. If they don't have that ego kinda temperament they're not going to make it. You gotta be a selfish guy. Most people take selfishness as something bad, but it's really something good. If a guy don't help himself and think about himself first he won't make itnowhere in life doing nothing.

Everybody knows him as Barney and you know that's what I remember about him. He's always cutting up giving us a good time. He's what made the show.

I've worked with Barney through the years, first as police chief and now as city manager. He's not only a skilled coach, but he cares about youth and putting them on the right path.

It's still considered experimental to do what happened with Barney Clark -- which is to put the person on the pump for the rest of their life, never intending to transplant them.

They'll cite an incident - that I saw Barney in their ear - or some funny incident,

I like Citigroup as a nice core holding. It's a big money-center bank. They do have some exposure, of course, to Salomon Smith Barney in the brokerage industry, ... This stock has pulled back in here, $44.95 a share. I think that it's going to grow those earnings at around 14 percent -- 11 times and 12 times earnings, that's a cheap stock.

Investment bank was pretty good all in. Transaction services had strong revenue, but earnings fell on higher expenses and credit costs. Smith Barney and private banking were okay, but not as good as Merrill.
