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 Picture Quote #1

Set the foot down with distrust on the crust of the world - it is thin Picture Quote #1

We always tend to distrust geniuses about genius, as if what they say didn’t arouse much empathy in us, or as if we were waiting till some more reliable source of information came along Picture Quote #1

A prudent person, having to do with a designing one, will always distrust most when appearances are fairest Picture Quote #1

Such reproductions may not interest the reader; but after all, this is my autobiography, not his; he is under no obligation to read further in it; he was under none to begin. A modest or inhibited autobiography is written without entertainment to the writer and read with distrust by the reader Picture Quote #1

Country people tend to consider that they have a corner on righteousness and to distrust most manifestations of cleverness, while people in the city are leery of righteousness but ascribe to themselves all manner of cleverness Picture Quote #1

You may have your suspicions, your fears, you may even believe there is something, somewhere, terribly, drastically wrong, but because someone else is in charge, because there is a part of the system above you which you don’t know, you don’t question it, you even distrust your own doubts Picture Quote #1

There is a yearning for people to return to elementary moral virtues, such as integrity and commitment. We distrust people who have no centering of values.

I distrust a man that says when. If he’s got to be careful not to drink to much it’s because he’s not to be trusted when he does Picture Quote #1

I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences Picture Quote #1

Assume that your worldview is not borne by the public. More than that: Do not assume that those who think differently are idiots. Before you distrust them, question your own assumptions Picture Quote #1

Any school for free citizens must begin by teaching distrust, not trust. It must teach questioning, not acceptance of stock answers Picture Quote #1
