About This Quote

The risk is too great. A man cannot place too much faith in any one thing, neither a woman, nor a horse, nor a weapon, nor any single thing. This quote by H.G. Wells expresses the danger of placing too much trust in one thing.

It’s the same danger that is also present when people commit to something, like marriage or career goals. Of course, people should be able to trust their own judgment and learn to focus on knowing what they want and how they can achieve it through hard work. But there is no reason to put your trust in anything but yourself.
