Personal Definition:
I think Truth is God. We can't see the full truth of everything, but He can, and so if we have faith on Him, and trust Him, then we will have the truth on our side. 
Truth is Light. When ever you get an Ah-ha, (which are like little amazing truths that you find in your day) whenver you get an Ah-ha, it feels like a little light bulb! 
When you find out more truth, you see with more light. 
(I thought that was cool, because my theme I picked for the day was light)
Also, just because someone believes in something doesn't make it a truth. But you can find it out for your self if its true, by asking in prayer, and feeling the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost comes from God who has all the source of truth and light, which we can fully rely on. :)
