Yogi Berra
Quotable former manager (and catcher) with the New York Yankees. Nowadays most recently seen in an insurance commercial with a big white duck. Not to be confused with Yogi Bear.
Yogi had a way of making a tautology informing. For example:
- It ain't over til it's over.
Not to mention contradictions:
- If people won't come to the ballpark you can't stop them.
- Never answer an anonymous letter.
- Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
- (loosely quoted) You should attend funerals, because if you don't go to people's funerals, they won't go to yours.
On decision-making:
- When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
