Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
-Albert Einstein
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.
-A Spiritual Leader

Mind is consciousness, which has limitations. We are originally unlimited and perfect. Later on we take on limitations and become the mind…There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth.
-Ramana Maharshi
I am reminded of the advice of my neighbor. Never worry about your heart till it stops beating.
