Ronnie Barker was a man whom I thought more deserving of a knighthood than me.

David Jason

Ronnie Barker will forever be remembered as one of the great comic actors.

John Major

It is possible to have good manners and be funny at the same time. Ronnie Barker and I proved that.

Ronnie Corbett

Growing up, I was always enthralled by Ronnie Barker. He made my dad howl with laughter, which always intrigued me, and he had the rare gift of being as good a performer as he was a writer.

Dominic Holland

It is all down to 'The Two Ronnies.' Those years with Ronnie Barker were the spine of my career.

Ronnie Corbett

He was so good at everything he did. You can't call Ronnie Barker a comedian. He was an actor, and a great writer.

Bruce Forsyth

Working with Ronnie Barker was always a joy and were without doubt some of the best years of my career

David Jason

I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.

John Cleese

I'm using the laws of the nation to my benefit. And I should do that, it's to my benefit. Now, when, if I am running the country I will use that same ability that I have, because I have always had the ability to make a lot of money. I'll use that same ability to make our nation rich again, because it sounds like, not nice, some people said, oh that's a harsh word, "rich". We can't be great again until we are rich.

Donald Trump

A friend of mine said to me a year ago, "You're so lucky, Nancy, because Ronnie left you the library," She said, "You have that to work on, and to go to, and, in a sense, to be with him." I had never thought of it like that, but it's true. I go to the library or work for the library all the time, because it's Ronnie. I'm working for Ronnie.

Nancy Reagan

I certainly treasure the memory and indeed the picture, which still hangs in my house in Scotland, of Ronnie Barker and I with the Choir when we came to Wales to shoot our Welsh choir section of the "Two Ronnies" programme. You are very close to my heart.

Ronnie Corbett

No nation can be really great unless it is great in peace, in industry, integrity, honesty. Skilled intelligence in civic affairs and industrial enterprises alike; the special ability of the artist, the man of letters, the man of science, and the man of business; the rigid determination to wrong no man, and to stand for righteousness-all these are necessary in a great nation.

Theodore Roosevelt

For me, the most attractive thing in a man is the ability to make me laugh.

Mollie King

Make a man laugh a good hearty laugh, and you've paved the way for friendship. When a man laughs with you, he, to some extent, likes you.

Dale Carnegie

Don't say I was tough. I was strong. I had to be, because Ronnie liked everybody and sometimes didn't see - or refused to see - what the people around him were really up to. But everything I did, I did for Ronnie. I did for love.

Nancy Reagan

They say that women like a man who can make them laugh, and I find that if you can make a woman laugh on the first and second dates, then you're doing well.

Matthew Perry
