Mistrust

It is more disgraceful to distrust than to be deceived by our friends.

La Rochefoucauld.

I hold it cowardice,
To rest mistrustful, where a noble heart
Hath pawn’d an open hand in sign of love.

Shakespeare.

The world is an old woman, that mistakes any gilt farthing for a gold coin; whereby. being often cheated, she will henceforth trust nothing but the common copper.

Carlyle.
