Summary

This quote suggests that it is unwise to trust everyone you encounter, as not all individuals can be relied upon. However, it implies that it is wise to trust individuals who have proven themselves to be trustworthy and have demonstrated their worth. Trusting people of value is considered a prudent approach, as their actions and character indicate their level of reliability and integrity. By selectively placing trust in those who deserve it, one can avoid being foolishly deceived by those who may not have honorable intentions.
