Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess after the fact.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.
I started second-guessing myself and was always questioning myself. I have really learned a lot.
Hindsight is the historian's necessary vice.
You can't help but... with 20/20 hindsight, go back and say, 'Look, had we done something different, we probably wouldn't be facing what we are facing today.'
We do not agree that hindsight is required. The risks of internal strife in Iraq, active Iranian pursuit of its interests, regional instability, and al-Qaeda activity in Iraq, were each explicitly identified before the invasion.
Once you've achieved success, and you're making decisions that are working, I don't understand why anyone would be second-guessing themselves.
I always come to conclusions very fast. Well, that is one way of thinking, and the other way would be that I lack the necessary perseverance to stick to one thing that really fits me. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing.
You can't operate by hindsight.
Hindsight can be merciless. People of any given era often look back in time and wonder how their predecessors could have been so dimwitted.
