When it comes to the world of philosophy, there is one man that, in my opinion, stands above the rest. No, it isn't Plato or Socrates. It is Yogi Berra (No, not Yogi the Bear, although he is a pretty good philosopher as well).Yogi Berra was a Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Yankees from the late 40's to the early 60's. Besides being one of the best catchers of all time, Yogi Berra is equally well known for his philosophical statements. His best known phrase has to be "It ain't over til it's over."
Throughout his years, Yogi has shared his bits of wisdom with whomever would listen. Here are my favorite Yogi-isms:
"The future ain't what it used to be."
"You can observe a lot just by watching."
"It's like deja vu all over again."
"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."
"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."
"Always go to other peoples' funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours."
"I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous."

Love it! I enjoy good quotes; In some ways they are the essence of good writing. They capture a significant thought in only a few words and are memorable. I guess that's why they become famous quotes. Yea, Yogi!
I had no idea he said any of that. Good stuff.
