I agree with ChaChinga. Truth is a synonim for what is reality. It is not subjective, it is a mere fact. In any case, it may or may not be able to be known, and our aproaches may not correspond with it, but us not knowing it doesn't stop it from being true.

In your example, you said you thought he was ugly. Lets assume you aren't lying. Beauty is subjective. So that means that, to you, he IS ugly. That is the TRUTH. Maybe to me, he is not ugly. Then it is the TRUTH that to me, he is not ugly. (That's one of the few cases were we can tell if something is the truth. In physiscs, for example, we may never know if our theories correspond with the truth.)
