It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out nor
more doubtful of ess, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a
new order of things. For the reformer has enemies in all those who profit
by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would
profit by the new order, this lukewarmness arising partly for fear of their
adversaries, who have the laws in their favor; and partly from the incredulity
of men, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual
experience of it.
ol`oMachiavelli (1469–1519), The Prince, Chapter 6.
