Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time.

I think about trust and confidence as something that you earn every day, and we will keep at it, earning it every day.

Trust comes from deeds.

You either trust someone day one until they prove you wrong, or you say, 'I don't trust you until you show me I can trust you.' I'm the latter.

You can't buy a good reputation; you must earn it.

Every day is a gift from God. There's no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

It takes people a while to trust you.

People are still willing to do an honest day's work. The trouble is they want a week's pay for it.

The way you build trust with your people is by being forthright and clear with them from day one. You may think people are fooled when you tell them what they want to hear. They are not fooled.
