Like an archer an arrow, The wise person steadies his trembling mind, a fickle and restless weapon. Flapping like a fish thrown on dry ground, it trembles all day, struggling to escape from the snares of Mara. The mind is restless. To control it is good. A disciplined mind is the road to Nirvana. (Dhammapada)
