1.
thus passes the glory of the world
early 13c., name of a song of praise, from Medieval Latin gloria in “Gloria Patri,” hymn praising god (and similar hymns), from Latin gloria “glory” (see glory).
c.1600, Latin, literally “thus passes the glory of the world;” perhaps an alteration of a passage in Thomas Á Kempis’ “Imitatio Christi” (1471).
Sic transit gloria mundi [(sik tran-sit glawr-ee-uh moon-dee)]
Latin for “Thus passes away the glory of the world”; worldly things do not last.
Nothing on earth is permanent, as in His first three novels were bestsellers and now he can’t even find an agent—sic transit gloria mundi. This expression, Latin for “Thus passes the glory of the world,” has been used in English since about 1600, and is familiar enough so that it is sometimes abbreviated to sic transit.
