तावज्जितेन्द्रियो न स्याद् विजितान्येन्द्रियः पुमान् । न जयेत् रसनं यावज्जितं सर्वं जिते रसे ॥ (११.८.२१)

Swami Vivekananda expressed a desire to "set in motion a machinery which will bring noble ideas to the door of everybody, and then let men and women settle their own fate" (His disciples in Madras - 24th January, 1894)
The Joy of riding a vehicle is only when it is in our control. A man was somehow hanging into the neck of the a horse who was galloping away. A passerby asked him where he was going. He said " I have no idea. Ask the Horse!.
