More from Machiavelli

"Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions."
"Men are always averse to new things, and it is very hard to persuade them to change."
"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."
"For he who is not strong enough to protect himself must seek protection from others."
