Trust but verify, if you're using the Russian axiom.

I wasn't aware of the Russian origin of the axiom. And it's been quoted to me, and I use "trust and verify." I see from wikipedia that it's a Russian proverb in Russian: доверяй, но проверяй, romanized: doveryay, no proveryay.

I guess I'm neither a good Russian, nor a good Reaganite. Not in the least bit surprised to know this about myself.

I'm neither Russian nor a big fan of Reagan, but I do like the proverb.
