quotations about trust
Only trust thyself and another shall not betray thee.
WILLIAM PENN
Some Fruits of Solitude
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

Trust men, and they will be true to you; trust them greatly, and they will show themselves great, though they make an exception in your favor to all their rules of trade.
J. F. ZACHARIA
attributed, Day's Collacon

He takes the measure of his own small soul,
And thinks the world no larger.

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.

All's Well That Ends Well
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
He who mistrusts most should be trusted least.
GREEK PROVERB
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.
