The correct quotation (spoken by the Countess in Act 1 Scene 1 of All's Well that Ends Well) is "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none." The Countess is giving some parting advice to her son Bertram. She is counselling him to be open-hearted; to love and be kind to everyone he meets. "Trust a few" means that he should at least trust someone, because a life where you trust nobody is miserable. (When you misquote it as "trust few" it implies that one should not trust too many people, which is the exact opposite of the Countess's meaning)

The quotation could be used today in the same way as the Countess used it--as sound advice.
