What does Miss Maudie say about Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird

Miss Maudie describes Atticus as genuine.... a man of integrity.

“He’s the same in the courtroom as he is on the public streets.”

She also described him as a civilized man, who refused to take advantage of weakness.

“Maybe I can tell you,” said Miss Maudie. “If your father’s anything, he’s civilized in his heart. Marksmanship’s a gift of God, a talent—oh, you have to practice to make it perfect, but shootin’s different from playing the piano or the like. I think maybe he put his gun down when he realized that God had given him an unfair advantage over most living things. I guess he decided he wouldn’t shoot till he had to, and he had to today.”
