The proverb answers where the sermon fails, as a well-charged pistol will do more execution than a whole barrel of gunpowder idly exploded in the air

The price of oil deflated by the U.S. consumer price index would have to be above $110 a barrel to match the prices seen in the early 1980s. So say $55 a barrel today would be the equivalent in real terms to a price of less than $20 in the early 1980s.

We were blown off the floor in every way from top to bottom. Classical was tough in the post, they made shots, and they played very good defense.

One of the ministers from Kuwait said that just the specter of negative news out of the Middle East adds about $9 to a barrel of crude oil.

One of the great things about being older is you can be a sounding board, a good listener. But to be honest, I'd just as soon look down a loaded shotgun barrel than snap my fingers and suddenly be 94 today! Growing old isn't for the the weak at heart. The hardest thing would be to see your body backfire. And the whole wrinkle thing is really odd.

If we had 70.0 dollars per barrel on oil prices in the midst of a recession, I would be very worried, but 70.0 dollars when the world economy is growing at over 4.0 percent is not such a big worry.

I don't have one negative thought about them the whole weekend. We played hard. We played well. It was two very, very good teams. Certainly this game today, 3-2, could have gone either way. We hit a lot of balls on the barrel today. We play this well most every weekend, we're going to win at least two if not all three.

I don't care if it's low end, high end, wood, you've got to find the barrel of the bat. That's what separates good hitters from bad hitters.

I always loved barrel racing, but didn't have a horse that enjoyed it. Finally I have a horse that has the passion and loves to do it just as much as I do.

He has a gift for putting the barrel of the bat on the ball and he has a passion for doing it. You look at him starting his third year in the big leagues and you can sense the maturity he's found over the last two years. He's a lot calmer and he's playing a lot more in the strike zone.

He is like a sponge, ... He is very receptive and has an outstanding work ethic. We have been working on little mechanical things, like knowing where the barrel of the bat is and trying not to work so hard to get a better swing, and it is making him a more productive hitter. I think he is turning into one of the better second basemen in the league.

He doesn't give you anything that you're going to put the barrel on consistently. When we beat him, it was just one of those days. We kind of got lucky.

I think, overall, we're seeing some friendly economic data that helped the market out. That said, there's not a lot of catalysts out there that could take us much higher, unless oil drops $5 a barrel or the Fed comes out with amazingly clear language in its take on the economy, and neither of those are likely.

It does seem to be much more reactionary and that may be because so much is at stake. We are looking at crude oil at $68 a barrel when for years it never went above $30 a barrel.

The push-up (in oil) was enough to scare some people with geopolitical unrest overseas, but it's a long day. Sixty-two dollars a barrel is probably the level where you start to see some effects on equities.

When the people of a nation out of sincere ignorance, conscientious stupidity, and/or apathy cheer and support liars and murderers like Bush and Blair they are breeding contempt for the laws of the land.

There is plenty of sound in an empty barrel

The only time it hurt was when I hit it off the end of the bat. It doesn't matter if you have 10 broken fingers ... it's going to hurt off the end of the bat.

With oil prices at $60 a barrel it was a foregone conclusion they were not going to cut. If you do see disruption from Nigeria, if you do see disruption from Iran, the oil price will go substantially higher from here. So OPEC is reluctant to start turning the taps off just now.

When the economy is creating 200,000 new jobs a month, we can tolerate $65 to $70 a barrel oil. It masks the impact on consumer confidence.
