Fortune Quote #3840
You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the
tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your
livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of
the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But
control of the mind is better and more difficult. -- Thayumanavar

I'm dictatorial again! -- Neville Chamberlain
