• Beautiful is he who recognizes what is truly beautiful even if the surface is ugly. Truthful is he who says what is true even if the truth is ugly.

He who acts through his heart, truly stands by God.

But it's only truth in their mind, just as your truth is only truth in your mind, and nobody else's.
