Lovely to see this here, from another atheist who reads it often for the great wisdom within.
Some favorites:
"When two monks meet they should each try to be the first to show respect to the other,"and, the abbot must “arrange everything that the strong have something to yearn for and the weak have nothing to run from.”
Just a reminder that LeMond is credited with the great aphorism of cycling: "It never gets any easier, you just go faster." Fitting that he's associated with solutions to that particular conflict.
