Over the triple doorways of Milan Cathedral are three inscriptions spanning the magnificent arches.

Above one is carved a wreath of roses, with the words, “All that pleases is but for a moment.”

Over the second is a cross, with the words, “All that troubles is but for a moment.”

Underneath the great central entrance to the main aisle is inscribed: “That only is important which is eternal.”
