纸包不住火

Pinyin: zhǐ bāo bú zhù huǒ

Meaning: Lies cannot be concealed forever.

Phrases such as "the truth will shine forth" may be semantically similar, but the mandarin version of this phrase has a negative connotation that implies the recipient of this phrase is being deceptive and the deception will be exposed soon.
