Quote
It was brought to my attention that Yogi Berra was not the first to comment on dangerousness of predictions.
Storm Pedersen, Danish sharp wit, reportedly said this in 1920s
"Det er svaert at spaa - isaer om fremtiden"

Translation: "It's hard to predict - specially about the future."
He also said: "Life is hard -- but math is harder."

thanks to Christian Riis from Denmark.
