What is the origin of this poem?
Some internet sources say "ancient Sanskrit", but there is no known Sanskrit original. There are various slightly different versions floating around, suggesting it is a translation from something.
A Google Books search finds "Congressional record: proceedings and debates of the ... Congress, Volume 110, Part 13 Govt. Print. Off., 1874" as the earliest work with the quote.
