Reflections and Maxims
That level of trust was what being in command was truly about--being able to lead someone not only down an unknown path, but also a seemingly wrong path, if the need called for doing so.
DAVE GALANTER
Troublesome Minds
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"
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.

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.

Without trust, there can be no tranquil resting of the mind ... there can be no belief. No belief in kindness. Or integrity. In anything.

Never trust he who trusts everyone.
CARLOS RUIZ ZAFON
The Shadow of the Wind
He who mistrusts most should be trusted least.
GREEK PROVERB
I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do: we may waive just so much care of ourselves as we honestly bestow elsewhere.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
Walden
Trust thy self, and another shall not betray thee.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Poor Richard's Almanack, 1739
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"
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.
