1. Abraham Lincoln in an address to the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society in 1859, said: 'It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view 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.'
2. This phrase is one that the enlightened Budddha was fond of saying. It has become a dictum in Buddihism. This too shall pass - basically means that all things go to history in their own time, and something will take it's place that will also pass on to history.
