Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of honoring commitments and the trust that comes with it. It suggests that failing to keep an appointment is not only a breach of trust but also akin to being dishonest. It implies that time, just like money, is an invaluable asset, and when someone agrees to meet at a specific time, they are essentially lending their time to the other person. Not respecting this commitment undermines the integrity and reliability of the individual, as borrowing someone's time means valuing their presence and respecting their availability.
