"Can you tell me, sir, to whose care you entrust your horses?"

"I can."

"Is it to the first corner, who knows nothing about them?"

"Certainly not."

"Well, what of the man who takes care of your gold, your silver or your
raiment?"

"He must be experienced also."

"And your body--have you ever considered about entrusting it to any
one's care?"

"Of course I have."

"And no doubt to a person of experience as a trainer, a physician?"

"Surely."

"And these things the best you possess, or have you anything more
precious?"

"What can you mean?"

"I mean that which employs these; which weights all things; which takes
counsel and resolve."
