quotations about trust
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.

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
BIBLE
Psalm 16:1
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
