Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature

Summary

This quote implies that while time may undermine or disprove human speculation and theories, it ultimately reinforces the natural order of things.

In essence, time acts as a critical evaluator of human understanding, while also affirming the enduring and unwavering laws of the natural world.
