"Sic transit gloria mundi" is a Latin phrase that translates to "thus passes the glory of the world" or "so passes worldly renown". It's a reminder that nothing earthly is permanent and that even great achievements and power will eventually fade away. The phrase was historically used in papal coronation ceremonies to emphasize the transient nature of earthly glory.
Had to look it up. Gloria is not capitalized. Not exactly in the same "common knowledge" category as tempus fugit. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I remember a scene in Laverne and Shirley where someone says to Carmine well like they say sic transit Gloria mundi and Carmine says Gloria who? |
