Trust Quotes

"Should we distrust the man because his manners are not our manners, and that his skin is dark?" ~ The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper "You remember how he would trust strangers, and if they fooled him he would say, 'It's better to be fooled than to be suspicious'--that the confidence trick is the work of man, but the want-of-confidence trick is the work of the devil." ~ Howards End by E. M. Forster That quiet mutual gaze of a trusting husband and wife is like the first moment of rest or refuge from a great weariness or a great danger--not to be interfered with by speech or action which would distract the sensations from the fresh enjoyment of repose. ~ Silas Marner by George Eliot My instincts are all against a woman being too frank and at her ease with me. It is no compliment to a man. Where the real sex feeling begins, timidity and distrust are its companions, heritage from old wicked days when love and violence went often hand in hand. ~ The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle What loneliness is more lonely than distrust? ~ Middlemarch by George Eliot
