Trust Quotes

“Nowadays… deals are transactional rather than personal. Instead of placing your faith in a person, you get lawyers to write safeguards into the contract. This is an historic shift from a trust economy to a risk economy. But trust is not a dispensable luxury. It is the very basis of our social life. Many scholars believe that capitalism had religious roots because people could trust other people who, feeling that they were answerable to God, could be relied on to be honest in business. A world without trust is a lonely and dangerous place.”

“Wait for me.” If his voice was just a bit hoarse, she didn’t seem to take note of it. She looked at him as though he had reached over and slapped her. “You don’t trust me? After all that talk of taking me for my word—” “This isn’t about trust.” “That is precisely what this is about.” Her fingers fisted in her skirts. “Because I’ve trusted you.” It hurt him to hear it. He didn’t know what else to do. He had no contacts left. He was walking around now like a blind man. He didn’t need the added weight of her safety on his conscience. Caine’s eyes fell away again. “Maybe you shouldn’t.” That earned him a flustered: “You told me to!”

“Your brother likes to argue that the Jamaican slave revolt, failed though it was, is what impelled the British to legislate abolition. He's right, but only half right. See, the revolt won British sympathy because the leaders were part of the Baptist church, and when it failed, proslavery whites in Jamaica started destroying chapels and threatening missionaries. Those Baptists went back to England and drummed up support on the grounds of religion, not natural rights. My point being, abolition happened because white people found reasons to care - whether those be economic or religious. You just have to make them think they came up with the idea themselves. You can't appeal to their inner goodness. I have never met an Englishman I trusted to do the right thing out of sympathy.”

“What will be the reward for all this discomfort?" I asked after a particularly bad night of loneliness and restlessness. "Can you live without knowing the answer to that question? Can you just walk through these steps and work without any promise of reward? Can you trust that more will be revealed? Can you take the risk of not knowing what your future will look like? Do you have the courage for that?”

“Isn’t it trust that lets the river give itself to the sea not knowing if its name will survive the salt.. that lets the moon surrender to darkness certain the sun will one day find her.. that sends roots downward into what they cannot see sure the unseen will answer.. that carries the wind to rest against the mountain knowing the stone will not turn away..!? Isn’t it trust this primal covenant beneath all motion where yin carries a fragment of yang and yang holds the shadow of yin each completing the other without asking to be assured..!? ©”

“Before this case, he’d never given any thought to transgender issues. His employers flew the rainbow flag and celebrated Pride week, so he shrugged and went along with it. It didn’t affect him, so he didn’t care about others’ sexual choices. But he didn’t understand what transgender meant. Until now.”

“Even Nabila briefly seemed at a loss for words. When next she spoke, her voice had softened with confusion. "Even when you were trapped, our king did not return for you. He left you behind - and still you trust him?" Rijah nodded without hesitation. "Is that not what loyalty is? To believe in someone even when they have made a grave mistake? Our king trusted us the same way we trusted him.”

“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?”

“Patience is not the absence of urgency; it is the presence of trust. It is the understanding that progress has its own timeframe, and that your role is to remain consistent long enough for the seeds you have planted to mature into outcomes that honour your efforts.”

“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.”
