Quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.

Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.

Summary

This quote suggests that the length of time something exists or remains true is not a reliable measure to determine its truthfulness. The veracity of a statement or belief should not be solely based on how long it has been held or accepted by people. Instead, truth should be sought through evidence, reasoning, and critical analysis rather than relying solely on the duration of a claim's existence.
