About This Quote
Worry is the antithesis of trust. You simply cannot do both. They are mutually exclusive. Trust is the cornerstone of relationships; it makes people listen to each other and work together to achieve goals.
Worry, on the other hand, keeps people from doing what they should. It keeps them at a distance and distrustful of one another. It's an ineffective way to live - and hubris keeps us from seeing that truth.
