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[The very room, coz she was in, Seemed warm f'om floor to ceilin'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20866]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very room, coz she was in, Seemed warm f'om floor to ceilin'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15426]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to himself.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is not just.
