Danh ngôn của Sidney Poitier (Sứ mệnh: 6)

So I had to be careful. I recognized the responsibility that, whether I liked it or not, I had to accept whatever the obligation was. That was to behave in a manner, to carry myself in such a professional way, as if there ever is a reflection, it's a positive one.
To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.
I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.
I know how easy it is for one to stay well within moral, ethical, and legal bounds through the skillful use of words - and to thereby spin, sidestep, circumvent, or bend a truth completely out of shape. To that extent, we are all liars on numerous occasions.
My father was very big on marriage.
I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.
My mother was the most amazing person. She taught me to be kind to other women. She believed in family. She was with my father from the first day they met. All that I am, she taught me.
