"It is not the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent, but the one most
responsive to change."
Charles Darwin

“There is nothing so difficult in human affairs than
to change the established order of things
because those who will be hurt by the change are
quite certain of their loss while those who
will benefit are uncertain of their gain.”
