Truth
The reality that does not change — every tradition sets it as the criterion against which speech, conduct, and worship are tested.
Judaism
"Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts..."
"Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight."
Christianity
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life..."
Islam
"And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it]."
Buddhism
"Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good; let him overcome the greedy by liberality, the liar by truth!"
