There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new order of things.
Whenever his enemies have the ability to attack the innovator they do so with the passion of partisans, while the others defend him sluggishly, so that the innovator and his party alike are vulnerable.
(Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince)
