Trust Quotes

“Every time I had a test or a public-speaking project or an interview, my mother said the same prayer for me: ‘May whatever Yetunde says be the right thing to say.’ There was freedom in that prayer, because even a mistake would be right. There would be some reason for it. It taught me to trust myself, so as I stood in front of that room, I started talking. The right words just poured through me. I knew what I was saying, but I wasn’t in control of it.”

“I believe there is no more important and consequential antidote for these times than a reciprocal relationship of trust. You give and you receive trust. And one of the most important ingredients in a relationship of trust is that we speak truth. It matters what we say. What we mean. The value we place on our words - and what they are worth to others.”

“Though normally the handshake simply confirmed the trustworthiness of an agreement, with perhaps an aura of divine protection, Attic grave reliefs suggest a further extension of the idea for they "show handshaking as a symbol of Faith at the parting between the dead and the living. Thus, handshaking was not only a sign of agreement among the living, but the gesture of trust and faith in the supreme departure." With us the handshake is hardly a conscious gesture, but nonetheless one does not expect to be attacked by someone with whom one has just shaken hands. A refusal of a proffered handshake, however, would make the ritual gesture conscious indeed: breaking the ritual raises ominous questions that would require an explanation.”

“DisabilityPrideMonth isn't just a celebration; it's a jubilant parade of diversity, resilience, and jaw-dropping achievements from individuals who redefine what's possible every day. It's our time to tip our hats to their strengths, rally for inclusivity, and construct a world where everyone can dazzle. Let's shine a spotlight on their awe-inspiring stories, demolish the barriers holding them back, and sculpt a society where every talent is recognized and celebrated.”

“I began to question the world and other people from a young age. I suppose that gave me a sense of emotional distance, a lack of trust in future friendships and relationships; I would assume a friendly and open manner, a cloak of safety. The price you pay is a fear of commitment and all the loneliness that entails. I was quietly angry, always have been. I still feel it, but I’m working on it. If you’re anything like me you have to recognise this well of poison that we carry, isolate the reason why we’re always ready to spring up like a cobra and bite at any time, any place, anyone. Unless you deal with it you will always repeat the same disastrous mistakes. You’ve got to confront your demons.”

“Kovacs," Warwick growled against the back of my neck, the real man standing over me, ready to scoop me up at any moment if he needed to. At that moment, when the whole world felt against us, death snatching my friends and family from me like retribution, he had my back. Literally and figuratively. The sensation dug in so deep, realizing something like that went even beyond mates. A trust so absolute... love felt like a foolish word to utter. We went beyond words.”

“Politicians, religious leaders, and authorities tell you to trust them because they're the experts with the answers. They make a big show of being trustworthy. That's why I don't trust them. I only trust someone who tells me not to trust them.”
