Quote by Douglas William Jerrold

In this world truth can wait; she is used to it.

In this world truth can wait; she is used to it.

Summary

This quote suggests that truth often takes a backseat in the world we live in. Truth is personified as waiting patiently, as if it is accustomed to being ignored or disregarded. This can be interpreted to mean that in our society, people often prioritize other things over seeking and embracing the truth. It implies that truth is often delayed or neglected, perhaps due to convenience or the fear of confronting uncomfortable realities.
