To state the truth is to submit a state of fact objectively.
To speak the truth is to state a fact for the benefit of yourself, others; or a spiritual, political or emotionally-based cause.

To me it sounds like "stating the truth" could be sort of like if you stated the truth about one thing.
Where as "speaking the truth" would be more of a routine. You would do it on a normal basis...not just once in awhile.

Stating the truth implies that you are merely giving what the truth is. Speaking the truth perhaps implies that you believe in it.
But if it's really true, then why does it need to be said or stated?

Stating the truth is merely an observation - Speaking the truth is to experience it for yourself

You can state the truth in writing.

When you state something, it is vaguely and mean not much to you. Speaking the truth is like a habit to you.

Ah, the field of epistemology!
An old saying has been twisted from
"...Those who know, won't tell..."
It's realisticly 'the highest, purest truth is nearly impossible to put into words'.
Our indivuality limits our understanding, thus our communication.
Stating... a shared fact
speaking... an explained fact
