: : : 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 you

: : I 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.

Thank you very much the fallen and Smokey, it makes more sense now, as i'm reading Josephine Tey's book "The daughter of time".
