is that the only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him;
and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him
and show him your distrust.
~ Henry L. Stimson

I have seldom known a person who deserted the truth in trifles
And then could be trusted in matters of importance.
~ Babe Paley

We are told that talent creates its own opportunities.
But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but it’s own talents.
~ Eric Hoffer
