This too Shall Pass is the debut album of Chicago-based rock group The Fold. It was released in February 2006 on Tooth and Nail Records and features fourteen tracks. The title is a reference to the phrase " This, too, shall pass".

"This Too Shall Pass" is a song by American singer Yolanda Adams, released as the last single from her 2005 album Day by Day. The making of the music video was shown on BET's Access Granted.

"This too shall pass" (, īn nīz bogzarad; , lit. "nothing endures"; , gam zeh ya'avor) is an adage indicating that all material conditions, positive or negative, are temporary.

The phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets, and is often attached to a fable of a great king who is humbled by the simple words. Some versions of the fable, beginning with that of Attar of Nishapur, add the detail that the phrase is inscribed on a ring, which has the ability to make the happy man sad and the sad man happy.

The adage and associated fable were popular in the first half of the 19th century, appearing in a collection of tales by the English poet Edward Fitzgerald and being employed in a speech by Abraham Lincoln before he became the sixteenth President of the United States.

" This too shall pass" is an adage about the temporary nature of existence.
