With about six kilometers to go Carlos hit a bad patch and instead of risking a total meltdown, he made the sensible choice to ride at his own pace and he did actually manage to limit his time loss quite well. The other day Carlos was a bit better than Mancebo and today it was the other way round. The time differences are still very small. The way it looks right now Heras and Menchov are the strongest. But there's almost two full weeks left and a lot can happen in that time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Czar has a cold all Russia coughs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12515]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the Czar has a cold all Russia coughs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53173]]></link><description><![CDATA[God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent, if he will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45500]]></link><description><![CDATA[The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent, if he will let it. -Margaret Fuller.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you live with another person for 50 years, all of your memories are invested in that person, like a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26908]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you live with another person for 50 years, all of your memories are invested in that person, like a bank account of shared memories.

When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jupiter and the MonkeyJupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jupiter and the MonkeyJupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest.

A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son. She resolutely said, I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is great enough that is his own master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53309]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is great enough that is his own master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58251]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who teach the mind its proper face to scan, And hold the faithful mirror up to man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who teach the mind its proper face to scan, And hold the faithful mirror up to man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have a long-term perspective, you don't react to every piece of news. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41561]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have a long-term perspective, you don't react to every piece of news.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas is here: Winds whistle shrill,  Icy and chill,   Little care we:    Little we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas is here: Winds whistle shrill,  Icy and chill,   Little care we:    Little we fear     Weather without,      Sheltered about       The Mahogany-Tree.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44123]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your secret is your prisoner; once you reveal it, you become its slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your secret is your prisoner; once you reveal it, you become its slave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You could afford your house without the government-if it weren't forthe government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21551]]></link><description><![CDATA[You could afford your house without the government-if it weren't forthe government.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So--now the danger dared at last, Look back and smile at perils past! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51101]]></link><description><![CDATA[So--now the danger dared at last, Look back and smile at perils past!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stronger than an army is a quotation whose time has come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stronger than an army is a quotation whose time has come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees ofgrace at any given moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21973]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees ofgrace at any given moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21973</guid></item></channel></rss>
