Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12693]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3488]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One foote is better then two crutches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49691]]></link><description><![CDATA[One foote is better then two crutches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are at Rome live in the Roman style; if you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54393]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are at Rome live in the Roman style; if you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere. [Lat., Si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more;  Si fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The defense stepped up, which is what we expect around here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33449]]></link><description><![CDATA[The defense stepped up, which is what we expect around here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore doth heaven divide The state of man in divers functions,  Setting endeavor in continual motion;   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore doth heaven divide The state of man in divers functions,  Setting endeavor in continual motion;   To which is fixed as an aim or butt    Obedience; for so work the honeybees,     Creatures that by a rule in nature teach      The act of order to a peopled kingdom.       They have a king, and officers of sorts,        Where some like magistrates correct at home,         Others like merchants venture trade abroad,          Others like soldiers armed in their stings           Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds,            Which pillage they with merry march bring home             To the tent-royal of their emperor,              Who, busied in his majesties, surveys               The singing masons building roofs of gold,                The civil citizens kneading up the honey,                 The poor mechanic porters crowding in                  Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate,                   The sad-eyed justice with his surly hum                    Delivering o'er to executors pale                     The lazy yawning drone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been dying to work with Simon since I saw Shaun of the Dead, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37940]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've been dying to work with Simon since I saw Shaun of the Dead,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love.
