A WISE QUOTE FOR MONDAY MORNING

"There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, 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, & only lukewarm defenders by all those who could profit by the new order. This lukewarmness arises from the incredulity of mankind who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual experience with it."

~ Niccolo Machiavelli (1469–1527), Italian philosopher; often considered as one of the main founders of modern political science;
