I trust Russia and China and Iran and North Korea like I trust a Jussie Smollett police report.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

When George W. Bush came into office, North Korea had maybe one nuclear weapon and verifiably wasn’t producing any more.

The ‚public‘ scares me, but people I trust.

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.

If people lose faith in their government, the result is the same whether or not the loss of confidence is justified.

I don’t trust liberals, I trust conservatives.

If you don’t know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.

Young people these days don’t trust anything at all. They want to be free.

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.

In 1993, Israel and North Korea were moving towards an agreement in which North Korea would stop sending any missiles or military technology to the Middle East and Israel would recognize that country. President Clinton intervened and blocked it.

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 Iranians have shot down drones. They tried to destroy the Saudi oil fields. They tried to storm our embassy. So, when my Democratic friends say we need appeasement, well appeasement hasn’t worked. And I think that we’ve learned, with respect to Iran, that weakness invites the wolves.

It is better to be deceived by one’s friends than to deceive them.

I came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.

Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him.

As we speak, Iran has rolled back its nuclear program, shipped out its uranium stockpile, and the world has avoided another war.

People need good lies. There are too many bad ones.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Nothing is more dangerous to one’s own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.

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

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.

Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to victory.

Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.

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

Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.

If we could do high-speed rail in California just half a notch above what they’ve done on the Shanghai line in China, and if we had a straight path from L.A. to San Francisco, as well as the milk run, at least that would be progress.

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

I believe God’s keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can’t give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it’s peace or joy or satisfaction.

Everything God tells us to do is for our good. Whether it’s direction you get in His Word or something He’s specifically put in your heart for your situation in life, the absolute best thing you can ever do is obey Him promptly and completely.

Mature love is composed and sustaining; a celebration of commitment, companionship, and trust.

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

The sadness of the women’s movement is that they don’t allow the necessity of love. See, I don’t personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.

In one thousand years of Russia’s existence, its first popular national election ever to be held occurred in June 1991. Six days later, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed in Moscow!

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.

I would impress upon your minds the fact that if you want to do a man justice, you should believe what a man says himself rather than what people say he says.

A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see, because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

I don’t think you ever really know what all you’re doing, so you have to act on faith.

The greatest achievements of the human mind are generally received with distrust.

China adopted a capitalist system in the 1980s, and they went from a 60% poverty rate to 10%.

No one gives a damn what Iran thinks on any significant issue. The only reason Iran is at the big boys‘ table is because of their nuclear weapons program.

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

Countries which receive aid do graduate. Within a generation, Korea went from being a big recipient to being a big aid donor. China used to get quite a bit of aid; now it’s aid-neutral.

Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.

Whoever feels predestined to see and not to believe will find all believers too noisy and pushy: he guards against them.

As president, I’m committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.

Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you’re supposed to be.

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.

Everybody has forgotten that Russia helped start the Second World War.

He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.

The Iranian government is undoubtedly a severe danger to its own population, but not beyond that.

Songs are my diaries; they always have been. You have to put your trust in everyone because putting down those real, personal details and thoughts that make a song authentic also opens you right up. I am constantly misunderstood; a lot of people just don’t get me.

I don’t consider myself to be that credulous.

I personally never expected anything of Obama, and wrote about it before the 2008 primaries. I thought it was smoke and mirrors.

I don’t believe in icons.

When individual members of the team are highly disciplined, they can be trusted and, therefore, allowed to operate with very little oversight.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
