Quote by Ronald Reagan

Trust, but verify.

Trust, but verify.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to President Ronald Reagan, emphasizes the importance of trust while also advocating for a cautious approach. It suggests that one should have faith and confidence in others, but it is essential to verify the accuracy, reliability, or trustworthiness of their claims or actions. Trusting blindly without verifying can leave one vulnerable to deception or mistakes, but the combination of trust and verification creates a balanced approach that promotes both confidence and prudence in relationships or decision-making processes.
