What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.
My dad remembers being in school with my uncle and the teacher would say outright to the class that the Japanese were second-class citizens and shouldn't be trusted.
Dad was the only adult male I ever trusted.
And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.
The reason is that they define how I have gone about my business. I have trusted to intuition. I did it at the beginning. I do it even now. I have no idea how things might turn out where in my writing I might go next.
It is not fit the public trusts should be lodged in the hands of any till they are first proved and found fit for the business they are to be entrusted with.
Lay this unto your breast: Old friends like old swords still are trusted best.
Power will intoxicate the best hearts as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
Experience hath shewn that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have in time and by slow operations perverted it into tyranny.
Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
