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.

Better to be occasionally cheated than perpetually suspicious.

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.

Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society.

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 moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted.

The suspicious mind believes more than it doubts. It believes in a formidable and ineradicable evil lurking in every person.

Let me remind you of the old maxim: people under suspicion are better moving than at rest, since at rest they may be sitting in the balance without knowing it, being weighed together with their sins.

Guilt has very quick ears to an accusation.

While you're finding evidence of innocence, you also find evidence that points to other people.
