"When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? And for a while, I believed that's the kind of love I had."
— Ace Rothstein, Casinonote
"To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved."
"It's hard to trust a man who has just asked to borrow your lockpick."
— Rifleman Cooper, Sharpe's Rifles.
"Trust your partner. And I do. I can't forgive you, but I trust you."
— Neku Sakuraba, The World Ends with You
"So once again, as it had so many times before, it was all going to come down to a matter of trust. Trust in a farm kid, fresh off a backward desert world, to lead him in an attack on the first Death Star. Trust in a former high-stakes gambler, who might or might not have had any real combat experience, to lead him in an attack on the second Death Star. And now, trust in a smuggler who might just as easily betray him for the right price."
— Wedge Antilles, The Last Command

Commodore Koudelka: You? I know you! You trust beyond reason!
Cordelia: Yes. It's how I get results beyond hope.

"You've taken a myself about to vanish
Out of a corner of the maze I was locked up in
Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn.
Now, I want to believe at least in you."

"Cave Johnson, here! Fact: Every successful cooperative test requires trust. And, our research shows (one person is shown pushing another into the incinerator) humans...cannot be trusted. The solution? ROBOTS! (A robot is seen smacking itself in the face with a frying pan and falls over) Then...fire the guys who made those robots and make BETTER ones. Then, we put those robots through several vigorous challenges to build trust between one another. Inspiring stuff. And, finally, we put that trust to the test. (P-Body knocks Atlas into an incinerator) BAM! Robots gave us six extra seconds of cooperation. Good job, robots!"
Sharon (later Athena): How do you know? How do you really know that you can trust me?
Admiral Adama:I don't. That's what trust is. Good hunting Lieutenant.
Naofumi: Take it easy and think this through! Are you really going to believe everything she says!?
Motoyasu: My friends are trustworthy enough to take them at their word.
Naofumi: (thinking) This guy's an idiot, she's got him dancing in the palm of her hand.
Myne/Malty: What!? No! How dare you accuse me of deceiving Sir Motoyasu! I would never do such a thing!
Melty: You did, though, dear sister. But it seems the Spear Hero had no idea you were manipulating him.
Motoyasu: Hey, wait a minute, there's nothing wrong with me trusting a member of my party, you can't blame me for wanting-
Rule 30: A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

"Trust is not a switch that you flip on or off. Trust is a currency, and everyone must earn it, myself included. The good thing about trust is that it gets easier to earn as you acquire more of it. The bad thing about trust is that once you lose it, it is very difficult to get back."
— Queen Helen, The Zombie Knight
"Give me the benefit of the doubt. Please. Just this once. It’s all I’ve been asking you guys for, from the beginning. Trust that I’m doing what I’m doing for a good reason."
"So, this is trust... Universe 7's power..."
Now that she had a moment to think, it mildly amazed Rei that her first action so soon after seeing her boyfriend shot again was to rush off and trust his protection to another. Then again, Asuka was showing her just as much trust, and they both had complete confidence in that.
McFee Norbert: Can I trust you, my friend?
Hamilton Felix: If you can't, then what is my assurance worth?
Oboromaru: Once, I would have obeyed orders without question. Taken a man's life without regard for the reason. But no longer. We who wield the power of life and death... Wield not the power to shape the world and its people as we see fit. And though there is great risk, there is great reward to be found in trust and mercy. Ryoma shared with me this wisdom. And the sorrow that follows if it is ignored. That a blade unsheathed must draw blood.
Oersted: ...The world... Belongs to no one man. Indeed... By love and trust... And faith... We will be saved. Wise, wise words. Spoken by another. Who...?
