"You can observe a lot by watching."

Our favorite Hill native, Yogi Berra, is never short of words. As you'll see, he seems to have a comeback for every occasion.

"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."

"It's like deja vu all over again."

"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

"If the people don't want to come out to the park, nobody's going to stop them."

"Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"

"I didn't really say everything I said."

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going because you might not get there."

"If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else."

"Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded."

"I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did."

"I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house."

"It gets late early out there."

"He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious."

"I want to thank you for making this day necessary." - on Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis in 1947

"So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face."

"You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left."

"The game isn't over until it's over."

"You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours."

Yogi's wife Carmen: "Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we live in New Jersey, and you played ball in New York. If you go before I do, where would you like me to have you buried?" Yogi: "Surprise me."

"It ain't the heat, it's the humility."

"The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase."

Dining at an italian restaurant, a waitress asked Berra how many slices she should cut his pizza, he replied, "You better make it 4, I don't think I could eat 8."

"We made too many wrong mistakes."
