- You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough.
- Frank Crane, quoted in Business Education World, Vol. 15 (1935) p. 172
- All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. It is vain to hurry it. By trusting it to the end it shall ripen into truth, and you shall know why you believe.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, in Essays (First series, 1841), Essay XI : Intellect
- In Reason, Nature, Truth, he dares to trust:
Ye Fops, be silent: and ye Wits, be just.- Samuel Johnson in The Tragedy of Irene (1749), Prologue
- As it is necessary not to invite robbery by supineness, so it is our duty not to suppress tenderness by suspicion; it is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.
- Samuel Johnson, in The Rambler, No. 79 (18 December 1750)
- To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.
- George MacDonald, in The Marquis of Lossie (1877)
