Albert Pike
Know thou the self (spirit) as riding in a chariot, The body as the chariot. Know thou the intellect as the chariot-driver, And the mind as the reins. The senses, they say, are the horses The objects of sense, what they range over. The self combined with senses and mind Wise men call the enjoyer.
Albert Pike
