Niccolo Machiavelli Quotes:
Ocupation: Historian
Life: May 3, 1469 - June 21, 1527
Birthday: May 3
Death: June 21

The innovator makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old order, and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new. Their support is lukewarm ... partly because men are generally incredulous, never really trusting new things unless they have tested them by experience.
