DC Studios was finally deducting Federal Taxes, another step we looked forward to during this acquisition. This happened twice in November, yet no new contracts had been drawn which justified any Dallas member as an actual employee of DC Studios. We questioned this matter, and in December, our first check came in and it was back to the old figures, where no taxes were being taken out. So where did our Federal Tax money go, not to mention the withholdings for Health Insurance, which we found out was canceled due to non-payment?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A conservative is someone who believes in reform.

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[How use doth breed a habit in a man! This shadowy desert, unfrequented woods,  I better brook than flourishing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18534]]></link><description><![CDATA[How use doth breed a habit in a man! This shadowy desert, unfrequented woods,  I better brook than flourishing peopled towns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is well said to be the speech of angels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is well said to be the speech of angels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, how to live by dying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with gardening is that it does not remain an avocation.
