** Also Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #47: "Never trust a man wearing a better suit than your own." It may seem [[{{Hypocrite}} odd]] for the Ferengi to advise distrust of the wealthy, but it may be [[JustifiedTrope prudent]] if you interpret the other guy's wealth as proof that he's better at wheeling and dealing than you are.
** Similarly, the Romulan proverb: "Never turn your back on a Breen."
** According to most Bajorans, you should never trust a Cardassian. While not all Cardassians are evil, they did take over Bajor, kill a large percentage of the population, turn another large chunk into slaves, and generally act like [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Space Nazis]] for '''50 years''', so you can see how they got the idea. Not to mention the fact that Cardassian politics seem to practically ''run'' on ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, to the point where Garak was rather harshly critical of ''Theatre/JuliusCaesar'' because he thought the plot relied on the titular character being implausibly naive.

->According to the Bible, Jezebel was an evil and corrupt ruler, and she encouraged the worship of foreign Phoenician gods in Israel. For these crimes she was killed by her own eunuchs and thrown into the street to be eaten by dogs. There are two great lessons from this story for all rulers: first, don't mess with the people's religion, and second, never trust the royal eunuchs.

** Westeros as a rule mistrusts bastards, since the infamous Daemon Blackfyre was one, and he started a civil war. Ergo, all bastards are secretly out to kill their legitimate siblings and take power. This is one of the several reasons Catelyn also dislikes Jon Snow, as well as a random girl she meets while travelling through the Vale. It also ignores the substantially high number of illegitimate kids throughout Westeros history who demonstrably ''did not'' do this.

However, it becomes more powerful later when, after Flippers makes TheReveal about who the culprit is, the Wolf says, "I knew it! Never trust a bunny!"
