Quotes for the Journey: Mistrust Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. William Shakespeare

Those who have trusted where they ought not will surely mistrust where they ought not.        -Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach     You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough.       -Frank Crane     If you have a hard time trusting other people, there's probably a good reason for it.  You can explain the origin of the mistrust, but that's all it is:  the origin.  If you're carrying it around with you, that's your doing, not the doing of whoever caused it in the first place.  If you don't trust others or your situations, you're hurting yourself rather drastically, for you're not allowing yourself to feel fully the world that surrounds you, the beauty in the people and the things in your life.  Perhaps someone will let you down again sometime in the future--in fact, I can almost guarantee it--but what you do with that is what determines how it affects your life, not what that person has done.  If you allow it to make you mistrust others, you're doing a disservice to yourself and those others.  If you accept it for what it is--one person's actions that needn't affect you forever--you'll find life much brighter in the future.     -Tom Walsh
