This implies truth can only be discovered and cannot be created or invented by man. Truth is universal, therefore the same truths can be discovered by different people independently.
Also, truth is self-affirming: It resonates with a part of us that recognises the truth--if we are open to and are willing to know the truth. (Of course, there are situations when we prefer not to know the truth and so we deny the reality of truth--It might intervene with the pleasure seeking part of us or with perceived short-term 'gains').
The foundation of rational (logical) thinking is the unchanging fact that a thing cannot be true and false at the same time.
If we are imaginative enough we know that a thing might be true while we might not have access to the facts proving that truth.
To illustrate: it might be true that other intelligent beings exist on other planets of our Universe but we don't have the facts to prove this. Yes there are speculations and theories and projections based on the limited facts available to us. The discovery of DNA or unicellular organisms on a far away planet is no sure proof. We do not know if the molecules or cells were conveyed from the earth by a comet many years ago.
Implications
The existence of truth implies the existence of right and wrong. If truth is constant (something that is really true cannot change and become untrue or false) then, right and wrong cannot be arbitrary.
A proof of this: those who claim truth or right is relative feel offended when they suffer wrong (e.g. when duped of a large sum of money or a small girl is kidnapped and raped).
The existence of truth, and of universal right and wrong implies someone (something?) set the standards. I believe that person (something that has a mind and is intelligent should be a person) is God. He is the creator of all things and the setter of standards.--He knows the truth about everything and about every one.
