“There is nothing more difficult to plan, more
doubtful of success, nor more dangerous
to manage than the creation of a new
system. The initiator has the enmity of
all who profit from the old institution and
merely lukewarm defenders in those who
would gain the new ones.”
Niccolo Machiavelli

“Is is not the strongest of the species
that survives, but rather the one most
responsive to change.”
