Why is Atticus Finch so empathetic towards Mrs. Dubose? Why did he tell Jem that she was the bravest person he ever knew? What example is he setting for his kids?

In to kill a Mockingbird, Atticus says to Jem "she's an old lady and she's ill. You must hold your head high and be a gentleman."He said that Dubose was the bravest person he ever knew because although she was in pain and dying, Mrs. Dubose was determined to break her habit. He is trying to show his children to be respectful to people, and help them through their problems.
