From https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/12/06/future-not-used/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/12/06/future-not-used/ on "The Future Is Not What It Used To Be": > In conclusion, Paul Valéry, Laura Riding, and Robert Graves used the saying by 1937. Based on current evidence Laura Riding and Robert Graves deployed the phrase in English first. Yogi Berra and others used the expression in later years. From https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/08/29/too-crowded/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/08/29/too-crowded/ on "Nobody Goes There Anymore, It’s Too Crowded": > In conclusion, the earliest instances of this remark were anonymous. The comedians Rags Ragland and Ukie Sherin employed the quip, as did the writer John McNulty. In addition, there is some evidence that Yogi Berra employed the joke, but in all cases the jest was already in circulation.
