Quote by George McGovern

You know, sometimes, when they say you're ahead of your time, it's just a polite way of saying you have a real bad sense of timing.


You know, sometimes, when they say you're ahead of your time

Summary

This quote suggests that being "ahead of your time" can often be used as a euphemism to indicate that an individual's ideas or actions are simply poorly timed or not well-received by the current social or cultural context. It implies that attributing someone's lack of success or acceptance to being ahead of their time might just be a diplomatic way of acknowledging their failure to gauge the appropriate timing for their innovations or unconventional ideas.
