Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of trust in relationships. It suggests that in order to make someone trustworthy, one must initially place their trust in them. By granting trust, the person is more likely to live up to that expectation. Conversely, if one constantly doubts and distrusts others, it is more likely that this lack of faith will be reciprocated, causing someone to become untrustworthy. Thus, trust breeds trustworthiness, while distrust fosters untrustworthiness.

Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over those who are stationary, as the latter can not well improve their delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals.
