There's a little truth in all jive, and a little jive in all

Summary

This quote suggests that within all the fancy or exaggerated language (jive) that people may use, there is always a hint of truth. Similarly, within what is considered to be true or accurate, there can be some elements of embellishment or deception (jive). It implies that understanding this balance between truth and jive can help us interpret and navigate the complexities of communication and discern the real essence underlying different expressions of information or opinions.
