Distrust

"When you have overcome one temptation, you must be ready to enter the lists with another. As distrust, in some sense, is the mother of safety, so security is the gate of danger. A man had need to fear this most of all, that he fears not at all."

"Distrust is an acquired feeling — we never doubt till we have been deceived ..."

"Usurpator diffida Di tutti sempre."

"What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?"

"When desperate ills demand a speedy cure, Distrust is cowardice, and prudence folly."

"A certain amount of distrust is wholesome, but not so much of others as of ourselves; neither vanity nor conceit can exist in the same atmosphere with it."

"Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day, And woman's plighted faith."
