This, Too, Shall Pass
Description:
This, too, shall pass – These troubles are temporary; be patient and things will work out. Originally, this term was used in a very serious way about the fleeting nature of human life, words, and endeavors. It graced the biblical Apocrypha (ca. 100 B.C.), later finding its way into philosophical writings. Nowadays, it’s used more lightheartedly, hinting at the virtue of patience and forbearance.
