Dave Van Ronk
It's a very unfortunate comment. And I don't think in retrospect he (Benitez) would probably go forward and say that again. Hector has been called upon on multiple occasions to do World Cup qualifying throughout the continent. He's had numerous appointments to many world championships.

In retrospect, we're not surprised at that. It's difficult to get huge numbers of diverse people to change their eating habits.
Barbara V. Howard
We need to move forward much more quickly and have much more federal investment, ... It's sort of like with Hurricane Katrina. For years they asked for money to strengthen the levees in New Orleans, and in retrospect, it's too bad that money never materialized.
James Roth
I was a little naïve about the process. I think in retrospect I would've gotten more involved in my community.
Beth Gaines
We put a couple of things in just for that game, because that's a little unique defense that Joe Lee runs. In retrospect, there were some things we put in that we might have done a little differently. Other than that, we pretty much stayed true to norm on everything.
Noel Mazzone
I knew I was going to be composing. It all makes sense in retrospect. But you don't know while you're in the process of improvising your life.
William Bolcom
In retrospect, that was a big error in our thinking.
Jeff Berliner
In retrospect, I think it's a plus, because now we've been able to go back and spend extra time on each of those episodes and make them better.
David E. Kelley
Considering how strong the field of competition is, in retrospect, it doesn't surprise me as much as it had initially.

In retrospect, we should not have run her in the 1000 Guineas even though she ran a brave race in the circumstances to finish third. She is still not right, hence her absence from the Oaks.
Gary Subratie

One can date the beginning of a civil war only in retrospect. But when we see deliberate attacks on members of one community just because of who they are, and retaliatory attacks on members of another community, it is not a good sign.
Marina Ottaway
In retrospect, that was good, because had the interior work been done, it would have been ruined, so we won't lose too much time.
Sharon Broussard
There was a lot of price action last week, which is often associated in retrospect with a cathartic washout. We've gone through the negative pre-announcement of earnings disappointments and now the remaining companies are beginning to report as good as expected, or better-than-expected numbers. And there's this growing sense that the end of the world may not be coming after all.
Robert Armknecht
I don't think in retrospect that it had much of a political impact one way or the other.
Joe Kernan
I was afraid Marshall would jump in. But in retrospect we would love to be involved in it (the park). We have our graduate college next to it. And we're talking with Dow -- if I haven't screwed it up -- about a vacant parcel of ground in the park.
Menis Ketchum
Having to look at it almost in retrospect now is also damaging to the restaurant industry, though. I don't imagine anyone's going to be happy to hear that they may have eaten fish in a Chinese restaurant that could have been contaminated.
Bruce Cran
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.
Henry Fuseli
In retrospect, I'm sure he wishes he hadn't gone to see her.

Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
Christian history looks glorious in retrospect; but it is made up of constant hard choices and unattractive tasks, accepted under the pressure of the Will of God.

Eric Willis
In retrospect, the past seems not one existence with a continuous flow of years and events that follow each other in logical sequence, but a life periodically dividing into entirely separate compartments. Change of surroundings, interests, pursuits, has.
