*“And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to
execute, more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to
introduce a new order of things; for he who
introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his
enemies,and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from
the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries . .
. and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new
things unless they have actually had personal experience of them.”
