The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.
- Oscar WildePure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
- Alexandre Dumas pèreSuspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt
- Samuel JohnsonFIRST keep thyself in peace, and then shalt thou be able to be a peacemaker towards others. A peaceable man doth more good than a well-learned. A passionate man turneth even good into evil and easily believeth evil; a good, peaceable man converteth all things into good. He who dwelleth in peace is suspicious of none, but he who is discontented and restless is tossed with many suspicions, and is neither quiet himself nor suffereth others to be quiet. He often saith what he ought not to say, and omitteth what it were more expedient for him to do. He considereth to what duties others are bound, and neglecteth those to which he is bound himself. Therefore be zealous first over thyself, and then mayest thou righteously be zealous concerning thy neighbour.
- Thomas KempisSuspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society
- Thomas Paine
