Stoney Burke (TV Series)

A Matter of Pride (1962)

Ben Piazza: Dayton Hill

Quotes 

• Stoney Burke : Hardly a soul in this country doesn't owe something.

  Dayton Hill : Maybe that's what's wrong with this country: Live it up now, earn it later.

• Dayton Hill : I'd like for you to help me.

  Stoney Burke : Alright. The first thing you learn is how to let other people help you. Don't lean on them. Don't take advantage of them. But if you get into trouble, you try to help yourself as much as you can. If it gets too tough, you call out.

  Dayton Hill : I don't know if I can do that.

  Stoney Burke : The way to even it out is to try to help other people all the time. That's your bank account. That's your savings account. Then, when you need it, it's rightfully yours.
