You kin tame a bear. you kin tame a wild-cat and you kin tame a panther. ... you kin tame arything, son, excusin' the human tongue.

Invisible boy and here we see the invisible boy in his lovely invisible house, feeding a piece of invisible cheese to a little invisible mouse. oh, what a beautiful picture to see! will you draw an invisible picture for me?

One might compare the relation of the ego to the id with that between a rider and his horse. the horse provides the locomotor energy, and the rider has the prerogative of determining the goal and of guiding the movements of his powerful mount towards it. but all too often in the relations between the ego and the id we find a picture of the less ideal situation in which the rider is obliged to guide his horse in the direction in which it itself wants to go.
Horse Powerful Goal
I am not religious, but i am a pious man... a religious man has a definite religion. he says "god is there" or "god is there," "god is there." "your god is not my god, and that's all." but the pious man, he just looks out with awe, and says, "where is god?" and "well, i don't understand it and i would like to know what this creation really means." that is a pious man, who is really touched by the greatness of nature and of the creation.
Religious Mean Greatness
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

Judgement holds in me a magisterial seat, at least it carefully tries to. it lets my feelings go their way, both hatred and friendship, even the friendship i bear myself, without being changed and corrupted by them.
Friendship Hatred Judgement
Who claims truth, truth abandons. history is hir'd, or coerc'd, only in interests that must ever prove base. she is too innocent, to be left within the reach of anyone in power,- who need but touch her, and all her credit is in the instant vanish'd, as if it had never been. she needs rather to be tended lovingly and honorably by fabulists and counterfeiters, ballad-mongers and cranks of ev'ry radius, masters of disguise to provide her the costume, toilette, and bearing, and speech nimble enough to keep her beyond the desires, or even the curiosity, of government.
Government Curiosity Desire
This you have to understand. there's only one way to hurt a man who's lost everything. give him back something broken.
