Abraham Lincoln:
Agatha Christie:If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Albert Schweitzer:Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.

This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
