The senses deceive from time to time, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.
Trust is not simply a matter of truthfulness, or even constancy. It is also a matter of amity and goodwill. We trust those who have our best interests at heart, and mistrust those who seem deaf to our concerns.
It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.
I used to trust people easily, but now I'm a little careful because some experiences have taught me to not trust anyone blindly.
Who would not rather trust and be deceived?
We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves.
We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.
The belief may be too often mistaken, but the illusion of coming into direct contact with the past is intoxicating and persuasive, and can result in an interpretation that carries conviction. Sometimes confidence is all that's needed.
When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people.
Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
