Pravda vítězí.
Truth prevails.
By Exact author unknown, but inspired by the words of Jan Hus, Czech theologian
This motto was inscribed on the standard of the first President of Czechoslovakia, T. G. Masaryk. While different social and political groups interpreted its precise meaning in various ways, it primarily served as a condemnation of the expansionist propaganda of Austria-Hungary, from which Czechoslovakia gained independence in 1918. The motto is said to be inspired by the words of Jan Hus, the Czech theologian: "Seek the truth, hear the truth, learn the truth, love the truth, speak the truth, hold the truth, and defend the truth until death."
