The Universe will asymptotically approach heat death as stars fade, galaxies disperse, and black holes evaporate, leaving only cold, isolated remnants.
Going all the way back to ancient times - sometimes attributed to Persia, other times to King Solomon, and still at other times to far eastern sources - one of the most important reminders of the transient nature of all things, good and bad, is encapsulated in the simple saying, "this too shall pass." Both joy and sorrow are temporary, as is life itself.
