Truth is indestructible, error passes away.

What is real lasts, and what is mistaken eventually dissolves: that is the confidence packed into these few words. Truth does not need to win every argument to survive, while error, however loud or popular, has nothing solid beneath it and fades with time.

The thought comes from Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science, which she founded in nineteenth-century America. She taught that spiritual reality is good and unchanging, and that illness, fear and false belief lack that lasting standing. You need not share her theology to feel the appeal, which echoes an older and widely held hope that falsehood is fragile. Still, it is a statement of faith rather than a proven law, since lies can do real harm in the meantime.

Imagine someone at work who becomes the target of a false rumor. Instead of panicking or retaliating, they keep doing honest work, answer questions plainly, and trust that steady facts will outlast gossip. They don't have to win the argument today.
