I was taught these words by my grandmother as a phrase that is
to be used at
all times in your life.
When things are spectacularly dreadful; when things
are absolutely appalling; when everything is superb and
wonderful and
marvellous and happy - say these four words to yourself.
They
will give you a sense of perspective
and help you also to make the most of
what is good and be stoical about what is bad.
This too will pass
