Quote by Heywood Broun, Sitting on the Wo

Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anybody else.

Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anybody else.

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that future generations (posterity) are just as prone to making mistakes and being wrong as current individuals. It suggests that the passing of time does not necessarily lead to increased wisdom or correctness. It serves as a reminder to not blindly accept the beliefs or decisions of future generations, to think critically, and to question the prevailing notions that may emerge as times change. It encourages a healthy skepticism towards the idea of progress and highlights the fallibility of human judgment, regardless of the era.
