Frequently Asked Questions

What do these Trust quotes explore?
This set touches on the need for more diverse leadership grounded in trust, healthy skepticism toward large institutions, appreciating the bigger picture in a career, and learning to trust yourself as an actor.
Is there a quote about needing more diverse leaders grounded in trust?
Yes — one quote calls for more African-American, Latino, and Native American leaders, and leaders from low-income communities, who can bring additional insight and a deeply grounded perspective to leadership. For more on connection and mutual trust, see our Bond collection.
Is there a quote about being skeptical of large institutions?
There is. One quote argues, "Everything that is large and institutional should be distrusted, even though it may be the best around." It backs this up with a pointed question: "The Internal Revenue Service doesn't trust me, so why should I trust them?"
Is there a quote about appreciating the bigger picture in a career?
Yes — one quote reflects on "the whole picture of life as opposed to just ambition and circumstance and all the stuff that happens in this business," appreciating the luck of working with others in the field.
Is there a quote about learning to trust yourself as an actor?
Yes — one quote describes a turning point: "When I started to trust myself to be an actor, and to be considered that way and consider myself, that is when people started to see me in that way because that was the truth then." It's about self-trust shaping how others perceive you. For a more spiritual reflection on trust, see our Prayers collection, and for thoughts on trust within close relationships, our Friendship collection.

Another line expresses open skepticism toward large institutions, arguing trust should run both ways, a theme also present in our Heart quotes, while readers seeking a devotional angle can visit Trust Prayers.
