Calpurnia teaches Scout a lesson in manners:

"There's some folks who don't eat like us," she whispered fiercely, "but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't. That boy's yo' comp'ny and if he wants to eat up the table cloth you let him, you hear?" (Chapter 3)

Miss Maudie says:

"There are just some kind of men who—who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results." (chapter 5)

If you shouldn't be defendin' him, then why are you doin' it?"

"For a number of reasons," said Atticus. "The main one is, if I didn't I couldn't hold up my head in town, I couldn't represent this county in the legislature, I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something again." (Chapter 9)

"Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win," Atticus said. (Chapter 9)

Jem said quietly, "My sister ain't dirty and I ain't scared of you," although I noticed his knees shaking. (Chapter 11)
