eternal wisdom
Truth beyond all ages
Eternal wisdom is understanding that transcends time—truths considered valid across all ages and cultures.
The phrase often appears in religious or philosophical contexts, referring to divine knowledge or principles that don't change with circumstances: The eternal wisdom of the ancients still guides us.
Sometimes used ironically for obvious advice dressed up as profound: His eternal wisdom? Buy low, sell high.
