"We took risks, we knew we took them; things have come out against us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of Providence, determined still to do our best to the last ... Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale...."
The Diary of Robert Falcon Scott, South Pole, March, 1912

Yogi Berra
It ain't over 'til it's over
We make too many wrong mistakes
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore"
"If I didn't wake up I'd still be sleeping"
"If you don't know where you're going, you'll wind up somewhere else"
"The future ain't what it used to be"
"Always go to other people's funerals otherwise they won't go to yours"
"You have to give 100 percent in the first half of the game. If that isn't enough, in the second half, you have to give what is left."
"Never answer an anonymous letter"
"Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel!"
"Ninety percent of this game is half mental."

Gentlemen,
We've done a fair amount of cleanup in this thread and awarded several points for politics.
If you don't know the difference between quoting Bill and Hillary for the purposes of making a political swipe and the greatest quotes of all time, this thread is not for you.

"I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." -- Thomas Jefferson.
I didn't know is was Jefferson quote till probably 30 years after I heard it from my first boss. Slightly different-- "The harder I work, the luckier I get". -- John Vader.
It served me well. Thank you, John.
