We need to reach that happy stage of our development when differences and diversity are not seen as sources of division and distrust, but of strength and inspiration.

If we really want to be full and generous in spirit, we have no choice but to trust at some level.

It's not about division. It's not about politics. My concern is how do we come together?

So we must stand together to resist, for we will get what we can take - just that and no more.

I fear we might be losing the basic human facility to be alone - and with that you throw out independent decision-making, what to trust, what not to trust; key stuff - a perilous loss.

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.

In properly organized groups no faith is required; what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while, for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.

Our problem is not to find better values but to be faithful to those we profess.

We must never take the public's trust for granted - our predecessors worked hard to earn it, and it is our responsibility to continually earn that trust.

We need to discuss the basis of a new form of trust built on a meaningful form of citizenship appropriate for a republic.
