its success, than to take the lead in the
introduction of a new order of things."

Election Day Quote
Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) was kind of the father of modern political science. Here's something he wrote way back when that remains relevant to most contemporary political situations:
"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."
"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."
