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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two rules to follow: 1) Don't sweat the small stuff. 2) It's all smallstuff. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two rules to follow: 1) Don't sweat the small stuff. 2) It's all smallstuff.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[SIN: Self-Inflicted Nonsense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44252]]></link><description><![CDATA[SIN: Self-Inflicted Nonsense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A father in a canoein which his baby is seatedwalks more carefully than on land. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15171]]></link><description><![CDATA[A father in a canoein which his baby is seatedwalks more carefully than on land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5206]]></link><description><![CDATA[A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After that first trout I was alone in there.
