Public domain · Ancient / pre-1960 text
When someone asks, “What does your T-shirt say?”

It's from Bhagavad Gita 2.14, in Sanskrit. It means: “They come and go, they are impermanent; endure them.”

That's the whole idea. One line, and a conversation about something that has mattered for a thousand years.
