The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action.

A usurper always distrusts the whole world. [It., Usurpator diffida Di tutti sempre.]

The feeling of mistrust is always the last which a great mind acquires.

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

A certain amount of distrust is wholesome, but not so much of others as of ourselves; neither vanity not conceit can exist in the same atmosphere with it.

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