“Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.”

“The trick is growing up without growing old.”

“You gotta learn that if you don't get it by midnight, chances are you ain't gonna get it, and if you do, it ain't worth it.”

“All right everyone, line up alphabetically according to your height.”

“Sure I played, did you think I was born at the age of 70 sitting in a dugout trying to manage guys like you?”

“You gotta lose 'em some of the time. When you do, lose 'em right.”

“Never make predictions, especially about the future.”

“The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.”

“Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits.”

“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for... reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.”

“Ability is the art of getting credit for all the home runs somebody else hits.”

“They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What's funny about that?”
