False. The "sentence" is an abstract term, has no physical attributes, therefore does not exist past our assigned definition of a sentence. "To be false" is also false, since false is an abstract term, which has no physical attributes. So the sentense is in a paradox with it's assignment, which indicates that the sentence's self declaration is True.

So, True.

If there were no such thing as truth, than the sentance "Nothing is true" would be true, thus proving the sentance wrong. Therefore, there is truth.

This explains the seeming paradox pretty well.
