Who said the following?

"The world is your bridge. Cross over it, but build not your house: he who hopes for one hour hopes for eternity".

Thanks in advance for any replies.

The Indian Mogul emperor Akbar, in the sixteenth century, planned to unite India, then split into religious factions, with a single religion that would contain the quintessence of all the various faiths as its one "Truth." Akbar evidently selected at least one saying of Jesus to inscribe on the wall of his Victory Gate to the central mosque of the city he built for himself, for (in 1900) this saying, unknown in the west, and supposedly deriving from Jesus' stay in India, was found on a piece of wall amid the ruins of Fatehpur Sikri, the city he built 25 km from Agra:


Said Jesus, on whom be peace! The world is a bridge,
pass over it but build no house there. He who hopeth
for an hour, hope for eternity; the world is but an hour,
spend it in devotion; the rest is worth nothing.
