Suspicion Quotations

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.
William Shakespeare

The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted.
Mahatma Gandhi

Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred, as a rule take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them.
Johannes Brahms

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.
Henry David Thoreau

Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.
Tom Hanks
