QUOTES BY Yogi Berra

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.

You can observe a lot just by watching.

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

When you come to a fork in the road take it

The future ain't what it used to be.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

Cut my pie into four pieces, I don’t think I could eat eight.

Nobody comes here anymore, its too crowded

I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question.

90% of the game is half mental.
