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[The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42834]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is interest in Kuwait and Iran regarding cooperation on the issue of restoration, as the dried marshes adversely affects ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29818]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is interest in Kuwait and Iran regarding cooperation on the issue of restoration, as the dried marshes adversely affects all three of those countries and others on the [Persian] Gulf.
