From Petronii Arbitri Satyricon AD 66 (Attributed to Gaius Petronus - a Roman General who later committed suicide)

We trained hard, but it seemed every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation.
