Text Quotes
The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real (Retrospect Quotes)
So much of our time is spent in preparation, so much in routine, and so much in retrospect, that the amount of each person's genius is confined to a very few hours (Retrospect Quotes)
Sure, I’ve been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen (Retrospect Quotes)
No endeavor that is worthwhile is simple in prospect; if it is right, it will be simple in retrospect (Retrospect Quotes)
In retrospect, each of the steps toward this abyss seemed irrevocable, and yet they had all been so small! (Retrospect Quotes)
Our ideas are the offspring of our senses; we are not more able to create the form of a being we have not seen, without retrospect to one we know, than we are able to create a new sense. He whose fancy has conceived an idea of the most beautiful form must have composed it from actual existence (Retrospect Quotes)
Everything, in retrospect, is obvious. But if everything were obvious, authors of histories of financial folly would be rich (Retrospect Quotes)
It is almost impossible to describe happiness, because at the time it feels entirely natural, as if all the rest of your life has been the aberration; only in retrospect does it swim into focus as the rare and precious thing it is. When it is present, it seems to be eternal, abiding forever, and there is no need to examine it or clutch it. Later, when it has evaporated, you stare in dismay at your empty palm, where only a little of the perfume lingers to prove that once it was there, and now is flown (Retrospect Quotes)
Seen in retrospect, evolution as a whole doubtless had a general direction, from simple to complex, from dependence on to relative independence of the environment, to greater and greater autonomy of individuals, greater and greater development of sense organs and nervous systems conveying and processing information about the state of the organism’s surroundings, and finally greater and greater consciousness. You can call this direction progress or by some other name (Retrospect Quotes)
Each person’s life is dominated by a central event, which shapes and distorts everything that comes after it and, in retrospect, everything that came before (Retrospect Quotes)
To the best of my recollection, I became a philosopher because my parents wanted me to become a lawyer. It seems to me, in retrospect, that there was much to be said for their suggestion. On the other hand, many philosophers are quite good company; the arguments they use are generally better than the ones that lawyers use; and we do get to go to as many faculty meetings as we like at no extra charge (Retrospect Quotes)
It is only in retrospect that the high points of our lives rise up, flaunting banners (Retrospect Quotes)
In diplomacy, as in life itself, one often learns more from failures than from successes. Triumphs will seem, in retrospect, to be foreordained, a series of brilliant actions and decisions that may in fact have been lucky or inadvertent, whereas failures illuminate paths and pitfalls to be avoided (Retrospect Quotes)
It was not until some weeks later that I realized there is no need to restrict oneself to 2 by 2 matrices. One could go on to 4 by 4 matrices, and the problem is then easily soluable. In retrospect, it seems strange that one can be so much held up over such an elementary point. The resulting wave equation for the electron turned out to be very successful. It led to correct values for the spin and the magnetic moment. This was quite unexpected. The work all followed from a study of pretty mathematics, without any thought being given to these physical properties of the electron (Retrospect Quotes)
Some of the sweetest hours in life, in retrospect will be found to have been spent with books (Retrospect Quotes)
When seen in retrospect, fashions seem to express their era. Although it is more difficult to draw conclusions from contemporary clothes, the same principles which hold for the clothes of the past must hold for clothes of the present and the future (Retrospect Quotes)
A graceful and blessed old age must have three elements in it: a happy retrospect, a peaceful present, and an inspiring future. And old age cannot have either one of these three if the youth has been wasted and manhood has been misspent (Retrospect Quotes)
Every age fraught with discord and danger seems to spawn a leader meant only for that age, a political giant whose absence, in retrospect, seems inconceivable when the history of that age is written (Retrospect Quotes)
There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can’t think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions (Retrospect Quotes)
Childhood is only the beautiful and happy time in contemplation and retrospect: to the child it is full of deep sorrows, the meaning of which is unknown (Retrospect Quotes)
In retrospect, our triumphs could as easily have happened to someone else; but our defeats are uniquely our own (Retrospect Quotes)
In retrospect, everything is finite, but prospectively, there are infinite possibilities. I guess that’s what makes life hopeful (Retrospect Quotes)
The question is where are business ethics and morality if one of the parties wants to dishonor a binding contract, just because in retrospect it realizes it could perhaps have got a better price! (Retrospect Quotes)
Do we always grind through the present, doomed to throw a gold haze of fond retrospect over the past? (Retrospect Quotes)
The past in retrospect holds manifold disenchantments, failures and even tragedies; and yet the worse may be forgotten and the best held fast (Retrospect Quotes)
I am a writer of books in retrospect. I talk in order to understand; I teach in order to learn (Retrospect Quotes)
Everything is funnier in retrospect, funnier and prettier and cooler. You can laugh at anything from far enough away (Retrospect Quotes)
Even with all the advantages of retrospect, and a lot of witnesses dead and gone, you can’t make your life look as if you intended it or you were consistent. All you can show is how you dealt with various hands (Retrospect Quotes)
I am grateful for all those dark years, even though in retrospect they seem like a long, bitter prayer that was answered finally (Retrospect Quotes)
That’s why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. You can’t control life, at least you can control your version (Retrospect Quotes)
