What are eight quotes that are words of wisdom from the book To Kill a Mockingbird?

To Kill a Mockingbird is filled with
many memorable quotations, but probably the two most famous quotes
from TKAM are the
following:

• "Remember, it's a sin to kill a
  mockingbird." (Atticus, to Jem, Chapter
  10)


• "You never understand a person until you
  consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in
  it." (Atticus, to Scout, Chapter
  3)

The first quote refers to one of
the major themes of the novel, that of innocence. The mockingbird harms nothing and only
makes music for others to enjoy. The second quote deals with another theme, tolerance,
and how people need to understand the actions and feelings of another before judging
them.

Other important quotes that can be found in the text
include:

• "I think there's just one kind of
  folks. Folks." (Scout, Chapter
  23)


• "When a child asks you something, answer
  him, for goodness' sake. But don't make a production of it. Children are children, but
  they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles 'em. 
  (Atticus, to his brother Jack, Chapter
  9)


• "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. It's when you
  know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no
  matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.  (Atticus, to Jem, Chapter
  11)


• 'I was born good but had grown
  progressively worse every year." (Scout, Chapter
  9)


• "The one thing that doesn't abide by
  majority rule is a person's conscience." (Atticus, to Jem, Chapter
  11)


• "I'm not a very good man, sir, but I am
  sheriff of Maycomb County... There's a black boy dead for no reason, and the man
  responsible for it's dead. Let the dead bury the dead this time, Mr. Finch. Let the dead
  bury the dead." (Sheriff Heck Tate, to Atticus, Chapter
  30)
