Trust, but verify

"Trust is good, control is better! " Is a phrase which is attributed to the Russian politicians Lenin. She wants to say, you should rely only on what you have checked. The statement does not exist in his works and therefore can not be assigned.

Occupied, however, is that Lenin very often the Russian proverb, "Trust, but check after " (Russian Доверяй, но проверяй - Dowerjai, No prowerjai ) 's needed. It is believed that this saying has been slightly modified in some translations of Lenin's texts, because the Russian word prowerjai with "control" instead of " check " can be translated.
