We discuss in this talk the optical and radio Hubble-diagrams for the brightest quasars. We shall infer from our results: (1) a strong correlation between redshift and received flux that is consistent with the cosmological interpretation of the emission-line redshifts; and (2) a quantitative upper limit on the permissible amount of pure luminosity evolution. We establish these conclusions twice, by examining the Hubble diagrams both with and without corrections for the selection effects introduced by the flux limits of the quasar catalogs considered.
