Shall Pass

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!

Revered across all cultures,
countries, and faiths

Quoted by kings, presidents, and philosophers throughout the ages. A saying that has offered comfort in sorrow and humility in triumph — for as long as people have sought meaning in the turning of time.
