How frequently are the honesty and integrity of a man disposed of by a smile or a shrug. How many good and generous actions have been sunk into oblivion by a distrustful look, or stamped with the imputation of bad motives, by a mysterious and seasonable whisper!
The treacherous are ever distrustful. - J. R. R. Tolkien
It is very nearly impossible to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind. - James Baldwin
