Even in the common affairs of life in love friendship and marriage how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

We trust something in a grocery store and assume it's good. We don't learn about the most precious thing in life-the food we put in our body. Educate yourself!
