Famous quotes containing the words trusted and/or world:
“Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“For in all the world there are no people so piteous and forlorn as those who are forced to eat the bitter bread of dependency in their old age, and find how steep are the stairs of another man’s house. Wherever they go they know themselves unwelcome. Wherever they are, they feel themselves a burden. There is no humiliation of the spirit they are not forced to endure. Their hearts are scarred all over with the stabs from cruel and callous speeches.”
—Dorothy Dix (1861–1951)
