"It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in 
hand, 
more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the 
lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has 
for 
enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm 
defenders in those who may do well under the new. This coolness arises partly 
from fear of the opponents, who have the laws on their side, and partly from 
the 
incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in new things until they have 
had 
a long experience of them."  Machiavelli, The Prince (1513)
