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!
