Литания Джендлина:
"Правда не перестаёт быть правдой. Признание не сделает её хуже".

What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn't make it worse.
Not being open about it doesn't make it go away.
And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with.
Anything untrue isn't there to be lived.
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it.

Литания Тарского (шаблон)

If the sky is blue
    I desire to believe that the sky is blue
If the sky is not blue
    I desire to believe that the sky is not blue.
[Let me not become attached to beliefs I may not want.]
