disclaimer: schizophrenic traces in my family 
Most institutions and organizations adopt a motto or quote of some sort that they believe represents their primary principle of acceptance. “Speak the Truth as a Way of Life”, is one several bear proudly.
I myself, with my weird sense of humor through self implied fallacies (I am actually a safe driver), would consider the meaning of what I hold to be “me”, before aligning myself to another’s motto. I have made up my own, “Positive Personal Progression”, that I try to let guide me, more from need than anything; which even then, I stray from time to time.
We all appreciate appealing phrases of character, even when they do not fall within our own lifestyle. And it should be accepted, (I tell myself), that we can display these mottos of character without the necessity to explain why. Yet, it did divert my attentions to the philosophical history of “truth”, as well as to some self reflection.
Truth: from the Wikipedia-
{Truth can have a variety of meanings, from the state of being the case, being in accord with a particular fact or reality, being in accord with the body of real things, events, actuality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard. In archaic usage it could be fidelity, constancy or sincerity in action, character, and utterance.[1] The term has no single definition about which a majority of professional philosophers and scholars agree, and various theories and views of truth continue to be debated. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; what things are truthbearers capable of being true or false; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute.}
Just curious for any relative thoughts, if anyone gets completely sick and tired of humorous and adrenalin pumping posts. Not seeking arguments here. One man/woman’s truth is relative to their definition, there are actually many avenues to take here, as philosophical history shows.
