Atticus Finch

"We're making a new start."

"Things are never as bad as they seem."

"The main objective of every lawyer is to judge."

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand."

"Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win."

"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

"As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but whenever a white man does it to a black man, that white man is trash."

"Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they're not attracting attention with it."

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view."

"I'm simply defending a Negro man."

"That boy is your responsibility now."

"There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son."

"The handful of people in this town who say that fair play is not marked for certain people don't amount to much."

"Every lawyer has a few cases in his lifetime which mean everything to him."

"There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads."

"It's not time to worry yet."

"I could not possibly hope to see you practicing law, son, but I can see you practicing humility."

"We're the ones who have to pay."

"Cry about the simple hell of the fact that I love you."

"I wanted to see what real courage is."

"Do the best you can with what you have."

"It's not proper to talk about people this way."

"We're paying the highest tribute we can pay a man."

"We've still got each other."

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view"

"Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us to try to win"

"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience"

"Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway"

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun"

"As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life"
