“When trouble is sensed well in advance it can easily be remedied; if
you wait for it to show itself any medicine will be too late because the
disease will have become incurable. . . . Political disorders can be
quickly healed if they are seen well in advance (and only a prudent
ruler has such foresight); when, for lack of a diagnosis, they are
allowed to grow in such a way that everyone can recognize them,
remedies are too late.”

        Niccolo Machiavelli
