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://maxioms.com/maxiom/40097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort and remembered with nostalgia ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60306]]></link><description><![CDATA[A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort and remembered with nostalgia]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's for a great cause, making fools of ourselves.

For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's easy to see, hard to foresee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60843]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easy to see, hard to foresee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63056]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man suffers death himself as often as he loses those dear to him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51574]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man suffers death himself as often as he loses those dear to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we call real estate--the solid ground to build a house on--is the broad foundation on which nearly all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18463]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we call real estate--the solid ground to build a house on--is the broad foundation on which nearly all the guilt of this world rests.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...

I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so soothing to our self-esteem as to find our bad traits in our forebears.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item></channel></rss>
