For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest, that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end. ~ H. L. Mencken

You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible. ~ Anton Chekhov
Ideas are only lethal if you suppress and don’t discuss them. Ignorance is not bliss, it’s stupid. Banning books shows you don’t trust your kids to think and you don’t trust yourself to be able to talk to them. ~ Anna Quindlen
Trust everybody, but cut the cards. ~ Finley Peter Dunne
Trust that little voice in your head that says “Wouldn’t it be interesting if…” – and then do it. ~ Duane Michaels
Don’t trust the heart, it wants your blood. ~ Stanislaw Lec
We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap. ~ Anthony Hopkins
To get a child’s trust – you may know or not – is a very hard thing to do. They’re so used to not believing adults – because adults tell tales and lies all the time. ~ Maurice Sendak
That was when it was all made painfully clear to me. When you are a child, there is joy. There is laughter. And most of all, there is trust. Trust in your fellows. When you are an adult…then comes suspicion, hatred, and fear. If children ran the world, it would be a place of eternal bliss and cheer. Adults run the world; and there is war, and enmity, and destruction unending. Adults who take charge of things muck them up, and then produce a new generation of children and say, “The children are the hope of the future.” And they are right. Children are the hope of the future. But adults are the damnation of the present, and children become adults as surely as adults become worm food. Adults are the death of hope. ~ Peter David, Tigerheart
Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers. ~ Johann Kaspar Lavater
I don’t really trust a sane person. ~ Lyle Alzado

Well, I sort of don’t trust anybody who doesn’t like Led Zeppelin. ~ Jack White
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust. ~ Gertrude Jekyll
You can’t trust a promise someone makes while they’re drunk, in love, hungry, or running for office. ~ Joe Moore
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust. ~ J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan
One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything. ~ Oscar Wilde
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved. ~ George MacDonald
Never trust someone that claims they care nothing of what society thinks of them. Instead of conquering obstacles, they simply pretend they don’t exist. ~ Tiffany Madison
Men trust God by risking rejection. Women trust God by waiting. ~ Carolyn McCulley
We rarely confide in those who are better than we. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. Most often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don’t want to improve ourselves and be bettered, for we should first have to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen. In short, we should like, at the same time, to cease being guilty and yet not to make the effort of cleansing ourselves. ~ Albert Camus
Ah! Yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
