Quod tegitur

Simpliciter pateat vitium fortasse pusillum:
Quod tegitur, magnum creditur esse malum
Let a defect, which is possibly but small, appear undisguised.
A fault concealed is presumed to be great.
 
Variant translation: Conceal a flaw, and the world will imagine the worst.

My own take on this is:
  • Secrecy breeds Suspicion
  • Transparency breeds Trust
