"This too should pass" (Persian: این نیز بگذرد‎‎, pronunciation:īn nīz bogzarad, Arabic: لا شيء يدوم‎‎ ("Nothing perseveres through"), Hebrew: גם זה יעבור‎ ("Gam Zeh Yaavor"), Turkish: Bu da geçer yâ hû, Latin: hoc quoque finiet) is a saying demonstrating that every single material condition, positive or negative, are impermanent. The expression appears to have begun in the compositions of the medieval Persian Sufi artists, and is regularly joined to a tale of an extraordinary lord who is lowered by the basic words. A few adaptations of the tale, starting with that of Attar of Nishapur, include the detail that the expression is recorded on a ring, which can make the cheerful man dismal and the miserable man glad. The proverb and related tale were well known in the principal half of the nineteenth century, showing up in a gathering of stories by the English artist Edward Fitzgerald and being utilized in a discourse by Abraham Lincoln before he got to be president. 

History
The expression shows up underway of Persian Sufi writers, for example, Sanai and Attar of Nishapur. Attar records the tale of an effective ruler who requests that amassed shrewd men make a ring that will make him cheerful when he is dismal. After consultation the sages give him a straightforward ring with the words "This too will pass" carved on it, which has the wanted impact to make him upbeat when he is dismal along these lines it turned into a revile at whatever point he is happy.

Jewish legends regularly gives Solomon a role as either the lord lowered by the proverb, or as the person who conveys it to another. Numerous variants of the folktale have been recorded by the Israel Folklore Archive at the University of Haifa. In a few forms the expression is disentangled much further, showing up as just the Hebrew letters gimel, zayin, and yodh, which start the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" (Hebrew: גם זה יעבור‎, gam zeh yaavor), "this too might pass." 

The story, by and large connected to an anonymous "Eastern ruler", got to be distinctly mainstream in the West in the principal half of the nineteenth century, showing up in American papers by in any event as right on time as 1839. In 1852, the English writer Edward Fitzgerald incorporated a concise form in his accumulation Polonius: A Collection of Wise Saws and Modern Instances. Fitzgerald's unattributed adaptation, titled "Solomon's Seal", portrays a sultan asking for of King Solomon a sentence that would dependably be valid in great circumstances or terrible; Solomon reacts, "This too will pass away". On September 30, 1859, Abraham Lincoln incorporated a comparable story in an address before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society in Milwaukee: 

It is said an Eastern ruler once charged his shrewd men to imagine him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which ought to be valid and proper in all circumstances and circumstances. They displayed him the words: "And this, as well, might pass away." How much it communicates! How reprimanding in the hour of pride! How supporting in the profundities of pain!
