Abstract

page numbers in this reproduction do not match the printed versions. Reproduction, except for quotations for academic or journalistic purposes, without the author’s written consent is strictly forbidden.] There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things... partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual experience of it. Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world Like a Colossus; and we petty men Walk under his huge legs, and peep about.... Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
