Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus God's children are immorall whiles their Father hath anything for them to do on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus God's children are immorall whiles their Father hath anything for them to do on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buddhism holds that everything is in constant flux.
