The wisdom of Yogi Berra

[Swede]

"It ain't over 'til it's over"

"I want to thank you for making this day necessary"

"It's like déjà vu all over again."

"When you get to a fork in the road, take it"

"I didn't really say everything I said"

"Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded."

"We have a good time together, even when we're not together"

"Our similarities are different"

"It was hard to have a conversation with anyone; there were so many people talking".

"We make too many wrong mistakes"

"Slump? I ain't in no slump... I just ain't hitting"

"You can observe a lot by watching"

"It gets late early around here..."

"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore"

"If I didn't wake up I'd still be sleeping"

"I usually take a two hour nap from 1 to 4"

"If you don't know where you're going, you'll wind up somewhere else"

"The future ain't what it used to be"

"If they don't want to come, you can't stop them"

"Always go to other people's funerals otherwise they won't go to yours"

"You have to give 100 percent in the first half of the game. If that isn't enough, in the second half, you have to give what is left."

"Never answer an anonymous letter"

"Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"

"Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel!"

"Ninety percent of this game is half mental."

2. back in college

The sports editor of the New York Times spoke through the school's lecture series, this was early 70s. He said everybody thought Yogi was being clever with these sayings, but that wasn't the case. One night he was in a bar with some friends, and Ernest Hemingway came over to their table to talk to someone he knew. After he left, Yogi said, "That was a really interesting guy. What's he do?" Everybody laughed, thinking he was kidding, but someone told him that Hemingway was a writer, to which Yogi replied, "Oh yeah, which paper?"

3. I can totally relate to Yoggi. At least he was honest.
