timeless truths
Always-valid fundamental principles
Timeless truths are principles or insights believed to hold across all eras and circumstances—not bound to a particular moment or culture.
The phrase appears in philosophy, religion, and self-help contexts: The book promises timeless truths about human nature.
Often used earnestly, though sometimes with skepticism toward claims of universality.
