“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
— Buddha

Simplified Meaning:
It's really hard to keep certain things secret for a long time. No matter what we do, the sun will eventually rise, the moon will eventually show up at night, and the truth will eventually come out. For example, if someone tries to hide that they've broken a vase, at some point, people in the house will find out when they notice it's missing or see the pieces. Similarly, when someone tells a lie, the truth usually surfaces sooner or later because things don’t add up or someone else speaks out. This saying teaches us that it's better to be honest right away because the truth will be known eventually. By being truthful from the beginning, we avoid problems and build trust with others.
