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://maxioms.com/maxiom/40102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the devil grows old he turns hermit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41137]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the devil grows old he turns hermit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin new reap'd Showed like a stubble-land at harvest-home; He was perfumed like a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin new reap'd Showed like a stubble-land at harvest-home; He was perfumed like a milliner, And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held A pouncet-box, which ever and anon He gave his nose and took 't away again. -King Henry IV.

Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, "Are you scared, too?" "You bet your sweet life I am." "Aha, so that's the way it is for you, too." We were all in the same boat. That's probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, "Who else feels like this?" the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4191]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

What a comfort it is to know the Man in charge of it all. Without Him, it would be easy to think that the whole of time and space, and life itself, are without reason, purpose, or meaning -- as H. G. Wells said, that it is "a bad joke beyond our unterstanding, a flare of vulgarity, an empty laugh braying across the mysteries." With Jesus forever between God and us, we can understand a few things, and trust Him for the rest. After all, He is one of us: a baby once, as we all were; then, and forever after, a Man, as we all shall always be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet I argue not Again Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot  Of right or hope; but still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet I argue not Again Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot  Of right or hope; but still bear up and steer   Right onward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Summer isles of Eden, lying in dark purple spheres of sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Summer isles of Eden, lying in dark purple spheres of sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63303]]></link><description><![CDATA[When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was as close to perfect as anyone can be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28423]]></link><description><![CDATA[She was as close to perfect as anyone can be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62179]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18079]]></link><description><![CDATA[There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is important that man dreams, but it is perhaps equally important that he can laugh at his own dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52151]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is important that man dreams, but it is perhaps equally important that he can laugh at his own dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[15 minutes a day!
