This quote remains as relevant in today’s world as when it was written in the 16th century:
“…Because men change their rulers gladly, in the belief that they will better themselves by the change.
“It is this belief that makes them take up arms against the reigning rulers; but in this they deceive themselves, for they find afterwards from experience that they have only made their conditions worse.”
This was written by none other than Machiavelli, ‘The Prince’.
