quotations about trust
A sharper or more bitter sorrow prove--
Hath Fate a keener thrust,
Than when his dart reveals that one we love
We cannot trust?
MARTHA LAVINIA HOFFMAN
"Love's Petition"
Trust, initially, is an emotional act. We must be vulnerable and trust that someone will accept us and learn to love us. However, once the trust that is built is destroyed, it is based more on a logical and intuitional act. Trust will not blind us from the facts. Love, on the other hand, is blind.

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
BIBLE
Psalm 16:1
Confiding Trust, fair flow'r of youthful minds!
Puts forth its simple blossoms all too soon,
Caught by the first alluring beams of spring;
And, dazzled by their bright and sunny glare,
Clings to the tendril promises of words,
Not deeming they are vain, and false as fair;
Till disappointment's nipping frost appears,
And withers all its impulses of life!
C. B. LANGSTON
"Dissapointment"
Put least trust in him who is foremost to praise you,
Nor judge of a road till it draw to the end.

Trust is not like electric light that you switch on and off. You build it up over time and it can be forfeited very quickly.
RAYMOND PARSONS
"Trust not electric light that can be switched on", Moneyweb, May 11, 2017
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
