quotations about trust
The most perfect communion of soul with soul, the most exquisite fellowship of mind with mind, are possible only where undoubted trust and undying love are possible, nowhere else. Nothing so ennobles and purifies a spirit as the exercise of faith in somebody.
REUEN THOMAS

Put least trust in him who is foremost to praise you,
Nor judge of a road till it draw to the end.

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

Distrust that man who tells you to distrust;
He takes the measure of his own small soul,
And thinks the world no larger.
