One, who is not worthy of confidence should not be trusted; nor should too much trust be reposed in a person worthy of trust. The danger originating from blind confidence engenders absolute destruction. One should try to sccure the confidence of others. One, however, should never place confidence in others.
न विश्वसेदविश्वस्ते विश्वस्ते नातिविश्वसेत्। विश्वासाद् भयमुत्पन्नमपि मूलं निकृन्तति। कामं विश्वासयेदन्यान् परेषां च न विश्वसेत्॥
