Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M.

He's an all round rider and it's great to see him prove it with a nice result such as this. It takes a lot to achieve a podium spot in the Vuelta, and I think he's been one of the prominent riders in this race - just as we as a team have been up front in nearly all stages. We took a brilliant stage victory, and with a little luck we could've taken a couple more. On the whole I'm very satisfied with the efforts delivered by everyone. Our aim was to get a good result overall and try for a stage win along the way, and we've achieved both. The team has worked perfectly and everyone down here in and around the team deserve big credit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purely Great Whose soul no siren passion could unsphere,  Thou nameless, now a power and mixed with fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61250]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purely Great Whose soul no siren passion could unsphere,  Thou nameless, now a power and mixed with fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History as a discipline can be characterized as having a collective forgetfulness about women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19365]]></link><description><![CDATA[History as a discipline can be characterized as having a collective forgetfulness about women.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100  When we say that the Scriptures are plain to all capacities ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100  When we say that the Scriptures are plain to all capacities in all things necessary, we mean that any man of ordinary capacity, by his own diligence and care, in conjunction with the helps and advantages which God hath appointed, and in the due use of them, may attain to the knowledge of everything necessary to his salvation; and that there is no book in the world more plain and better fitted to teach a man any art or science than the Bible is to direct and instruct men in the way to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's really hard for us to win these matches when we surrender half a dozen points due to poor match-ups. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30960]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's really hard for us to win these matches when we surrender half a dozen points due to poor match-ups.

For nothing so infallibly shows us the true state of our heart, as that which gives us either delight or trouble; for as our delight and trouble is, so is the state of our heart: if therefore you are carried away with any trouble or delight, that has not an immediate relation to your progress in the divine life, you may be assured your heart is not in its right state of prayer to God.
