Looking for quotes on trust? Look no further because here, you will find inspirational quotes and ideas that *fingers crossed* will help revive your belief and faith in people. Or perhaps you are looking for a hard-hitting trust quote to send to your friend who has been through a tough time recently, then keep on reading, and hopefully, you will have something to take away from this post.
Trust is one of those things that are hard to gain yet very easy to lose. Quite the same goes for money. Both are hard to earn and take a long time to acquire, but can be wasted in a matter of seconds. However, money comes and goes, while trust is something that may never be gained back once lost.
The value of having someone one can trust is priceless. It’s the foundation of every relationship, whether it’s a romantic, friendly, or professional one. No wonder so many quotes about trust emphasize its significance. One can’t remain close with a person they don’t trust. Trusting someone gives a sense of security and comfort, which is essential in a fulfilling, long-lasting relationship.
Speaking of official marriages, 20-40% of divorces in the US happen due to infidelity. And that’s just the people with legal marital status. Cheating leads to loss of trust, which is often the reason for divorce. And just think about how many couples remain married, maybe for their children and family’s sake, despite the sabotaged trust and relationship. Does that mean that loss of trust may overpower feelings as strong as love? Perhaps.
Below, we’ve gathered plenty of trust quotes and inspiring quotes and ideas from people who know the feelings of mistrust, hurt, or betrayal all too well. Is there a quote about trust in this list that hit home? Let us know!
