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[All things that are, Are with more spirit chased than enjoy'd.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15637]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Phidias made the statue of Venue at Elis with one foot upon the shell of a tortoise, to signify two ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Phidias made the statue of Venue at Elis with one foot upon the shell of a tortoise, to signify two great duties of a virtuous woman, which are to keep home and be silent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People need dreams, there's as much nourishment in 'em as food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64989]]></link><description><![CDATA[People need dreams, there's as much nourishment in 'em as food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art my slats!
