Quote by Sophocles

No lie ever reaches old age.

No lie ever reaches old age.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the temporary nature of lies and how they eventually lose their potency. Lies are often built upon falsehoods and deception, making them difficult to sustain over a significant period of time. As time passes, lies tend to unravel, revealing the truth that lies beneath. Whether it's due to inconsistencies, unintended slips, or the creeping weight of guilt, lies inevitably surface and can no longer withstand the test of time. Ultimately, this quote suggests that the truth will always prevail, while lies inevitably fade away.
