We call first truths those we discover after all the others.

Summary

This quote suggests that the truths we uncover later in life are often rooted in more fundamental and tangible truths that we have already learned. These "first truths" serve as a foundation upon which we build our knowledge and understanding of the world. It implies that as we gain new experiences and insights, we are able to connect them to these core, foundational truths, allowing for a deeper and more profound understanding of reality.
