It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

Trust and value your own divinity as well as your connection to nature. Seeing God’s work everywhere will be your reward.

Over the years I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly be corrupt.

The money in politics is a cash cow for the media.

I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.

People often think I’m a faker, but I’m usually honest, in a certain way – in such a way that often nobody believes me!

People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.

If I made a commitment, I stood by that commitment – and try to make it real. Because when you become leaders, the most important thing you have is your word, your trust. That’s where respect comes from.

Acting is just a process of relaxation, actually. Knowing the text so well and trusting that the instinct and the subconscious mind, whatever you want to call it, is going to take over.

When the players go home, I can’t tell them what to do, so you need to create an atmosphere of trust. I don’t want to think, ‚What are they doing now? Do I need to call them?‘

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

A friend in power is a friend lost.

If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.

Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

In this age, I don’t care how tactically or operationally brilliant you are: if you cannot create harmony – even vicious harmony – on the battlefield based on trust across service lines, across coalition and national lines, and across civilian/military lines, you need to go home, because your leadership is obsolete.

Of course you can’t ‚trust‘ what people tell you on the web anymore than you can ‚trust‘ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants. Working out the social politics of who you can trust and why is, quite literally, what a very large part of our brain has evolved to do.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

God answers prayers, but he doesn’t always answer it your way.

I want someone who can trust that my big hands are going to take care of them.

I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.

One Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.

I don’t trust liberals, I trust conservatives.

When you start to realise how much of what you’ve constructed of yourself is based on deception and lies, that is a horrifying realisation.

Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.

Newspaper readership is still growing in India.

Let no such man be trusted.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.

On TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it.

We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

I read the NY Times but I don’t trust all of it.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.

One word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

Trust is hard to come by. That’s why my circle is small and tight. I’m kind of funny about making new friends.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.

One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.
