Quote by Gina Marinello-Sweeney

“You should not,” he said quietly, “trust me.” “Because you give admittance to the notion that you are not trustworthy?” she said with some surprise. “Because I would not myself trust a faceless man in a silver cloak dining at the scarlet table of a castle of chandeliers with more questions than answers.”

“Commitment is not a word you give to others. It begins with the value you give to your own word. If you break your promise once, then the next time you say “I will do it,” people will listen, but they will not trust. Because trust is never in the promise. Trust is in the follow through. When you value your commitment, people respect you. When you break it, people doubt you. So before expecting anyone to believe your word, ask yourself one thing. Do you stand by what you say, or do you only say it?”

“Human beings evolved to live in small bands with people more or less like themselves. But today, many of us live in wonderfully pluralistic societies. In America, Europe, India, and many other places, we're trying to build mass multicultural democracies, societies that contain people from diverse races and ethnicities, with different ideologies and backgrounds. To survive, pluralistic societies require citizens who can look across difference and show the kind of understanding that is a prerequisite of trust—who can say, at the very least, “I’m beginning to see you. Certainly, I will never fully experience the world as you experience it, but I’m beginning, a bit, to see the world through your eyes.”
