I believe Miss. Maudie echoes these sentiments about Atticus,

.. there are some men in the world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. Your father’s one of them....We’re so rarely called upon to be Christians, but when we are we’ve got men like Atticus to go for us.”

Scout quotes that Atticus is no different in the house then he is outside which is exactly what this quote also states.

Atticus don't ever do anything to Jem and me in the house that he don't do in the yard”
