Your Favorite Roman Latin Quotes Maxims Mottos Sayings ?
#34
As I often try to re-focus dwindling time, energy, and resources on what matters more, I remember:

Quote:[size=150:887iscyg]Sic transit gloria mundi.[/size]
Based on fundamental principles in the ancient Ecclesiastes, chapter 5.

George Fredericks Watts' related 19th century painting image is attached below.

More positively, rather than lament what I lost or never had, I thank G-d for and try to make the best of what I still do have.

Pax vobiscvm, *r
