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).

Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that gives thee a bone, would not have thee die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that gives thee a bone, would not have thee die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But he who stems a stream with sand, And fetters flame with flaxen band,  Has yet a harder task ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51082]]></link><description><![CDATA[But he who stems a stream with sand, And fetters flame with flaxen band,  Has yet a harder task to prove--   By firm resolve to conquer love!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is no more than a dream as long as we need the comfort of the clan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is no more than a dream as long as we need the comfort of the clan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was fash and full of faith that "something would turn up." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14625]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was fash and full of faith that "something would turn up."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out.

Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed inoveralls and looks like work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed inoveralls and looks like work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice thing about the wine show is you have owners pouring their wines, and people can ask them questions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41820]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice thing about the wine show is you have owners pouring their wines, and people can ask them questions about the wine.
