The quote is from Benjamin Brewster. The Quote Investigator does a nice run down of its history at: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/04/14/theory/.

Yahooey,

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the link.

I figured it was one of the many fake Yogi Berra quotes.

Best wishes,

Michael

I noticed the "attributed to" and it is what made me remember the Quote Investigator. He's a fan of Yogi Berra quotes.

Yahooey,

I really appreciate your tip about the Quote Investigator.

Not to disparage Mr. Berra, but I added the "attributed" because it just didn't sound like him and there are a lot of Fake Yogi quotes out there.
