About This Quote

The phrase “hide nothing” has been around since Ancient Greece, where it was used to describe the practice of keeping secrets from prying eyes. In this saying, you can tell that time is a great enemy of secrets, for it is the one who sees and hears everything. As a result, people ought to keep nothing from time.
