How do you say "The Truth Lies Within" in Latin?

In an english latin translator I got "verum lies intus" its seems right exept for the lies part


How do you say lies (to lay down not the other lie) in Latin?


Thanks :)|||Noli foras ire, in interiori homine habitat veritas (st. Augustin) Don't go outside, truth lies within yourself!|||Veritas intus jacet. ("Verum" can also be used to mean "truth," but it's the neuter form of the adjective for "true"--just a slight shade of difference in meaning.) "Jacet" means "lies," as in the inscription on many old tombstones, "hic jacet"--"here lies."








(For an online translator, that wasn't bad!)|||Veritas intus latet.





That quote from Augustine literally reads: the truth lives in the interior of man|||oh, another meaningless phrase tattood on some fool's ***, giving latin a bad name...|||Your translation is correct.
