Trust

Trusting no one is not wise;
But it is better to trust no one,
Than to rely on too many.
(Friedrich von Logau)

2)

The neighbor’s children

He who trusts others too little,
Faces fear in all corners;
He who relies too much on others,
Awakes with terror.
Only a light fence separates them,
The two founders of sorrow;
Too little and too much trust
Are neighbors' children.
(Wilhelm Busch)

3)

Trust me!

Trust me, my friend – I only want the best.
Look at you, you don’t belong here anymore.
The expression on your face is like a silent protest,
you don’t seem to know when your joy will escape you.

Trust me, because I know what you need now.
A trip, something new – I’ll get you out of here now.
You just stand next to me, shrugging your shoulders, smoking.
You can’t go on like this, here’s your luggage.

Trust me, and see how you smile now!
The road lies ahead and nothing is left of the old rut,
Imagine how you fan yourself with cold air from palm trees.
Trust me, I know a great spot!
(Anna Köhler)

4)

In fear and trembling

[…] Trust, the most beautiful stone in royal crowns,
Mother of all love and her child,
Thou only a pillow, on which we slumber carefree,
I call thee, return to this heart!
There is no happiness where thou turn’st thy back,
There is no misfortune, you smile anew;
Let me fight in thy spell and sign,
And again life becomes my victory.[…] (Theodor Fontane)

5)

Freedom of the trusting

Your kindness, and your presence, are dear and cherished by me.
Your heart I shower with love, trust, you to take the wheel.

Call me naive and tell me there is danger,
To hope, to wish – to see the good in man.
But I am free, free to trust completely,
for he who does not trust will soon stand alone.
(Anna Köhler)
