People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

Summary

This quote suggests that just because someone trusts and confides in us, it does not mean that we are obligated to reciprocate that trust automatically. The statement highlights that trust is given as a gift freely, and it does not grant the person who gave it any entitlement over our trust in return. Trust is a personal choice and cannot be demanded or assumed based on someone else's trust in us.
