Meaning if a famous quote

Would like to know the full meaning of this famous quote

The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer. Henry David Thoreau

Not sure what it is exactly meaning and implying, could you please explain both meaning and implying or implications.

Thank you
