- There are some people who, if they don't already know, you can't tell 'em
- You can observe a lot by just watching

- If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else
- The future ain't what it used to be
- It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much
- Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded
- If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be
- The other teams could make trouble for us if they win
- I always thought that record would stand until it was broken
- You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you
- A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore
- It ain't over till it's over

I always enjoy the story about Yogi and one of his team mates driving around the city looking for the stadium. His team mate says "Yogi, we're lost!" And, Yogi responds with, "Yeah, but we're making good time."
When I was teaching a class many years ago in Poland, I pulled a Yogi Berra. I told the class to pair up in groups of three. My associate and I started laughing about my gaffe, and my students didn't get it at all. Apparently in the translation, the idea that a pair is always two just didn't come through.
