I always thought, that quote is from the "Rocky movies" Didn't Silvester Stalone always say it, when he got beaten up in the ring ... before winning in the end ?

berndt,
Definitely Yogi Berra.
Check Google, the world authority on everything.
That genius also said "It's Déjà vu all over again."

Perhaps he, Yogi Berra, is the Shakespeare of the modern world.

Perhaps he, Yogi Berra, is the Shakespeare of the modern world. Heaven help us. He is a decent sort and often unintentionally funny. But a second Shakespeare? Not quite. Mickey

Mickey, it is often said that Shakespeare borrowed much of what he wrote from others, but his name is the one that takes the credit. One saying is "all that glitters is not gold", which Shakespeare-wallahs will tell you he invented, but that it should be "all that glisters is not gold". Of course he didn't invent it, but because he was a famous name it is linked to him.
It's the same with the Fosbury Flop. Just about every entry on the internet will credit that method of high-jumping to him. However, Debbie Brill was already doing that reverse style before Fosbury took it up, but even she may not have been the first. Fosbury won gold in 1968, so i's name was sealed. What might have been the Brill Bend became known as the Fosbury Flop. Brill was Canadian, by the way.

Kodak is a household name and I hope that it will not fade into history. If other brands are doing well, I'm sure Kodak with its 100 over years of expertise will be able to do better.
