The world was quite difficult enough as it was without
people going around trying to make it better all the time.
Masklin had understood that. He
knew the way to make people do what you wanted was to make them think it was
their idea. If there was one thing that
got right up a nome’s nose, it was someone saying, “Here is a really sensible
idea. Why are you too stupid to understand?”

Pratchett)
