Stand up for what you believe

"They’re certainly entitled to think that, and they’re entitled to full respect for their opinions...but  before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience"
  
~Atticus talking to Scout because she assumed Atticus must have been wrong for defending Tom       Robinson, since everyone else thought so.

Stand up for what you believe in

These are words of wisdom because it teaches us that just because everyone else believes something, doesn't mean what you believe is wrong. You should never agree with one side because of "majority rule". Stand up for what you believe in and be faithful to your opinion. Your conscience is not based by majority rule.
