As a former Catholic, I’m not into biblical quotes. I prefer my inspirational quotes from sources other than scripture.
I happen to like “This Too Shall Pass.” Apparently, it is of Persian origin (the Sufi poets) and Abraham Lincoln once used it in a speech.
It’s especially useful when you’re lying in the dentist’s chair or having any type of medical procedure. I think all dentists should have it painted on their ceilings.

I love this too, and think you’re on to something with the dentists’ ceilings!

It’s a great quote. Time really does heal the wounds.
There’s a similar quote by Robert Frost,
“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
