this too shall pass
Nothing lasts forever
This too shall pass is a proverb offering perspective during difficult times—the present trouble, however painful, is temporary.
The phrase works as consolation or encouragement: When she lost her job, her mother reminded her that this too shall pass.
It cuts both ways: good fortune is equally fleeting.
