When asked: "What would you do if someone gave you a million dollars?" Yogi replied: "If he was poor, I’d give it back!"
When asked: "What time is it?" Yogi replied: "Do you mean now?"
"You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there."
"You have to give 100% in the first half of the game. If that’s not enough, in the second half, give what’s left."
