Truth is the daughter of time
Hello, it's nice to be here again.
Can you explain this proverb to me?
I understood it as truth changes with time, but i'm not so sure.
Many thanks to youI read it as meaning that it takes time before the truth can be seen - don't make a judgement too early, because you may not have realised all the facts or seen all the evidence. The true nature of a thing becomes clear over time.
No doubt. Aulus Gellius, in Attic Nights, wrote about truth, the daughter of time.
