Ancient Wisdom Revisited: Shelley - Ozymandias

“Sic transit gloria mundi,” "thus passes the glory of the world," is an expression containing a timeless message carrying the wisdom and weight of centuries. In a world that praises greatness and success, strong leaders, powerful nations, impressive buildings, unlimited extravagance, they invite us to live more humbly, remembering that we leave this world carrying as little as we did when we came into it.
