quotations about trust
Trust, like the soul, never returns when it has once gone.
PUBLILIUS SYRUS
attributed, Day's Collacon
He who mistrusts most should be trusted least.
GREEK PROVERB
The fact is there is nothing that you can trust; and that is a terrible fact, whether you like it or not. Psychologically there is nothing in the world, that you can put your faith, your trust, or your belief in. Neither your gods, nor your science can save you, can bring you psychological certainty; and you have to accept that you can trust in absolutely nothing. That is a scientific fact, as well as a psychological fact. Because, your leaders -- religious and political -- and your books -- sacred and profane -- have all failed, and you are still confused, in misery, in conflict. So, that is an absolute, undeniable fact.
JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI

Trust is not like electric light that you switch on and off. You build it up over time and it can be forfeited very quickly.
RAYMOND PARSONS
"Trust not electric light that can be switched on", Moneyweb, May 11, 2017
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
BIBLE
Psalm 16:1
The most perfect communion of soul with soul, the most exquisite fellowship of mind with mind, are possible only where undoubted trust and undying love are possible, nowhere else. Nothing so ennobles and purifies a spirit as the exercise of faith in somebody.
REUEN THOMAS
Thoughts for the Thoughtful
Trust isn't something you can buy; you have to earn it. But many people don't realize you have to keep earning it to preserve the strength of that foundation moving forward.
LEE REAMS
"Trust Isn't Just An Asset: It's The Foundation Upon Which Everything Else Is Built", Forbes, April 19, 2017
Must not he also who has but little trust in others feel himself deprived of a very great blessing? For what society can be agreeable without mutual confidence, even between a man and a wife?
XENOPHON
Hiero
Confiding Trust, fair flow'r of youthful minds!
Puts forth its simple blossoms all too soon,
Caught by the first alluring beams of spring;
And, dazzled by their bright and sunny glare,
Clings to the tendril promises of words,
Not deeming they are vain, and false as fair;
Till disappointment's nipping frost appears,
And withers all its impulses of life!
C. B. LANGSTON
"Dissapointment"
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
MAYA ANGELOU
attributed, Fifty Years of Living, Laughing and Loving
Only trust thyself and another shall not betray thee.
WILLIAM PENN
Some Fruits of Solitude
There are indeed times when one should trust blindly, just as there are times when one should not. Wisdom consists in being able to tell one from the other.
DANIEL QUINN
The Holy
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
All's Well That Ends Well
Distrust that man who tells you to distrust;
He takes the measure of his own small soul,
And thinks the world no larger.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
"Deceit"
Without trust, there can be no tranquil resting of the mind ... there can be no belief. No belief in kindness. Or integrity. In anything.
