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[The Thirsty PigeonA pigeon, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard.

My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's something in a flying horse, There's something in a huge balloon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61991]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's something in a flying horse, There's something in a huge balloon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always when I see a man fond of praise I always think it is because he is an affectionate man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always when I see a man fond of praise I always think it is because he is an affectionate man craving for affection. - Letters to His Son, W.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to hang my hat on my speed.
