163In our trust in others, inertia, selfishness and vanity often play a major role. Inertia, when we, in order not to act ourselves, are more willing to trust another. Selfishness is when we trust something to another, tempted by the need to talk about our affairs and circumstances. Vanity - when trust can be to our advantage.
A. Schopenhauer

124Trusting yourself is very difficult. Sometimes this cannot be achieved even once in your entire life. Because the carefully built system of worshiping the author, the system of parties that group around each author, has given rise to incredible snobbery, sometimes out of the blue, and it puts pressure on a person who is not included in these circles. He may be well versed in electronics, but this in no way increases his social status and therefore does not elevate him in his own eyes. With what sense organ can he trust himself, his taste?

Faith and trust are associated with openness. If I have lost trust in a person, it means that I have closed myself off from him. If I have lost trust in a person, I have lost faith in the person. In the same way, if I have lost trust in God, I lose faith in God. - “Giving advances to love”
Proverbs about trust are studied in school because it is a complex abstract concept. But the ability to trust is important human quality. Trust appears only when a person is confident in another, when he understands and feels. This feeling can also be felt towards someone who is fair and respectful towards others.
Proverbs about trust
Below are some famous sayings:
- "People's trust is more valuable than gold." This was especially important for rulers and high officials. Because the people have always been a great force, and if they were dissatisfied with the order, they could rebel. But if a person acted fairly and treated the people with respect, then the people responded with respect and supported him.
- “If you lose trust, you won’t be able to make it up.” It is difficult for a person to begin to trust again in someone who has already failed to live up to his expectations. And only through good deeds can he perhaps regain the favor of another.
Sayings of other peoples
Proverbs about trust and gullibility are present in all cultures, but their meaning is similar to the sayings of the Russian folk art:
- “Do not trust a person who praises himself too much” - this can be explained this way: if a person says too much good about himself, he often exaggerates. He is trying to prove that he is good - not by deed, but by word. Remember to show modesty.
- “He who believes easily soon repents.” This Italian proverb can be explained this way: you should not tell the first person you meet everything about yourself. You don’t know what kind of person he is, won’t he then tell everything that you told him to others? Therefore, you can only trust family and friends.
Proverbs that talk about trust help teach children to respect others. They teach that there is no need to tell everyone everything, but it is very important to value the trust that is placed in you.
