Lawrence Peter Berra played Major League Baseball for 19 years for the New York Yankees.
He played on 10 World Series Championship teams, is a MLB Hall of Famer and has some awe-inspiring stats.

His name is consistently brought up as one of the best catchers in baseball history, and he was voted to the Team of the Century in 1999.
Amazing accomplishments aside, they probably aren’t how you know Lawrence.
You know him as Yogi, a nickname given to him by a friend who likened his cross-legged sitting to a yogi.
Yogi is famous for his fractured English, malapropisms and sometimes nonsensical quotes, adds Avram Lebor.
He’s closing in on 86, and there seems to be no end to his fan’s love for him.
Here are 25 Yogi Berra quotes that will make you shake your head and smile.

Avram Lebor selection on quotations from famous people

• In this sad world of ours, sadness reaches all, and it often comes along with bitter discomfort. Best relief is not possible, except with time. You can’t now think that you will ever feel much better but that is not true. You’re certain to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it, will make you less miserable now. Abraham Lincoln
• He pondered again at the overwhelming gullibility of persons. How baffling it was that even the most crafty and clever folks would regularly see only the things they desired to see, and would actually look over and above the thinnest of facades. Or they might dismiss reality, dismissing it as the facade. After which when their entire world fell to pieces plus they were on their knees slitting their bellies or cutting their throats or cast out into the freezing world, they would tear topknots or rend their clothes and bewail their karma, blaming gods or kami or luck or their lords or husbands or vassals, anything or anyone but never themselves- Lord Toranaga- the main character in the book Shogun by James Clavell
