Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Is there no hope?" the sick man said, The silent doctor shook his head,  And took his leave with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26693]]></link><description><![CDATA["Is there no hope?" the sick man said, The silent doctor shook his head,  And took his leave with signs of sorrow,   Despairing of his fee to-morrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[AWB could not inform DFAT and the UN that that debt was being paid out of these two (wheat) contracts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38435]]></link><description><![CDATA[AWB could not inform DFAT and the UN that that debt was being paid out of these two (wheat) contracts without disclosing that the actions in 1995/1996 had themselves been outside the sanctions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In how many lives does Love really play a dominant part?
