If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had
been churches, and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good
divine that follows his own instructions; I can easier teach twenty
what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine
own teaching.
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), The Merchant of Venice
-- Act i, Sc. 2
