“In your life, always be like a driver who runs the car not just a car.”

“Human soul is a car and human body is a driver. One cannot run without the other.”

“I felt like a car that had only been operated by one driver… a car its new prospective buyer was determined to take to the Daytona 500.”

“There were some people, it seemed, who were incapable of being pleasant about anything. Of course, the cars that such people drove tended to be difficult as well. Nice cars have nice drivers; bad cars have bad drivers. A person's gearbox revealed everything that you could want to know about that person, thought Mr J.L.B. Matekoni.”

“Keep your thoughts and your mind always going forward ahead on the roads of life, just as you would do driving your car.”

“We can assume that most people, most of the time, are moral creatures. But imagine that this morality is like a gearshift that at times gets pushed into neutral. When that happens, morality is disengaged. If the car happens to be on an incline, car and driver move precipitously downhill. It is then the nature of the circumstances that determines outcomes, not the driver's skills or intentions.”
