Pictures, verse tell the tale

One might compare the relation of ego to the id with that between a rider and his horse.

The horse provides the locomotor energy, and the rider has a prerogative of determining the goal and 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 the horse in the direction in which it itself wants, to go. — Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). “The Anatomy of

the Mental Personality,” Lecture 31, 1932.

Take a horse by his bridle and a man by his word.

— Dutch proverb

The ear of a bridled horse is his mouth.

— Horace (65 B.C.-A.D. 8) Epistles, Book 1

You never really learn how to swear until you learn how to ride.

— Cooky McClung, “Rules of the Day,” 1983

There are, they say, fools, bloody fools, and men who remount in a steeplechase.

— John Oaksey, (b. 1929) The Guardian, 1971

No one ever notices how you ride “til you fall off.

— Cooky McClung, “Rules of the Day,” 1983
