Sic transit gloria mundi - Thus passes the glory of the world

"Sic transit gloria . . . Glory fades." Just an obscure quote from one of my top favorite movies of all time. If you know, you know.

"How quickly the glory of the world passes away"

Thus passes the glory of the world; a Latin sentence spoken during the coronation of a new Pope, while flax is burned to represent the transitoriness of earthly glory. It was first used at the coronation of Alexander V in Pisa, 7 July 1409, but is earlier in origin; it may ultimately derive from ‘O quam cito transit gloria mundi [Oh how quickly the glory of the world passes away]’ in the De Imitatione Christi of Thomas à Kempis.

Embrace the fall of mankind

Thus passes the glory of the world, to no one's keeping.
