The following is a quote from the film The Legend of Bagger Vance. Matt Damon's character is telling the little boy that he should respect his father because he decided to work a menial job and support his family and repay his debts rather than declare bankruptcy when the Great Depression hit.
Rannulph Junuh: Your daddy is out sweeping streets because he took every last dime he had and used it to pay up every man and woman he owed and every business who worked for him, instead of declaring bankruptcy like everyone else in town, including your best friend Wilbur Charles' dad, Raymond, which is why he's able to sit around all day long on his dignity! Your daddy stared adversity in the eye, Hardy. And he beat it back with a broom.
