It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan,
more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the
creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who
would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely
lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones.
-- Niccolo Machiavelli
