This Too Shall Pass

“This too shall pass” is a Persian adage that reflects on the ephemerality of the human condition. The core meaning of the quote, however, is something that is reflected in wisdom literature across cultures and throughout time. It was also famously used by the sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln before he was elected to office. In his speech, he said: "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!” Anywho…. Nothing ever stays the same. And that is where Hope is found. ...
