This Too Shall Pass

Abraham Lincoln included this story in an address before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society in Milwaukee:


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!
