“Trust instinct to the end, even though you can give no reason.”

“I trust a good deal to common fame, as we all must. If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs, to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods.”

“Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.”

“If the single man plants himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abides, this huge world will come around to him.”

“Self trust is the essence of heroism.”

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”

“Self-trust is the first secret of success.”
