{Proverbs/ quotes}
Truth
When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.

Truth never grows old
Truth is mighty and will prevail
Though a lie be swift, the truth overtakes it
Truth will come to light
The truth will come out in the wash
Truth has no answer
Many a true word is spoken in jest
What is new cannot be true
Truth breeds hatred

The sting of a reproach is in the truth of it
Truth is stranger than fiction
Tell the truth and shame the devil
All truths are not to be told
‘Tis strange- but true; for truth is always strange; stranger than fiction (Canto XIV)
