I hear hindsight can make foresight possible sometimes

"In hindsight, one shouldn’t have expected better from legislation so steeped in cultural myths. Single mothers had been labeled a social problem since the 1960s, even though their portrayal — as welfare queens and teen moms who didn’t want to work — never matched the statistical reality."

~ Kathryn A. Edwards
