An American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright said that “Truth is more important than the facts.”
Mostly, we may outline truth as: a statement about the way the world really is. In our real life, truth is opposite of false. While getting an education at school or university level, teachers test students on the basis of true or false questionnaire.
