timeless values
Eternally relevant standards
Timeless values are principles considered universally and permanently important—honesty, compassion, integrity, respect.
The phrase implies these ideals transcend cultural shifts and generational change: The school emphasizes timeless values like hard work and personal responsibility.
Often invoked nostalgically or prescriptively, suggesting modern society has drifted from enduring truths.
