Samuel Johnson on Trust

← Back to Samuel Johnson Profile
In Reason, Nature, Truth, he dares to trust: Ye Fops, be silent: and ye Wits, be just.
Samuel Johnson
As it is necessary not to invite robbery by supineness, so it is our duty not to suppress tenderness by suspicion; it is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.
Samuel Johnson
