Some quotes from Rob Harley:
“The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of hell.”
- St. Augustine
Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.
- Niccolo Machiavelli, “The Prince”, Chapter VI
Buttercup: We’ll never survive.
Westley: Nonsense, you’re only saying that because no one ever has.
- The Princess Bride
