To Kill a Mockingbird

Can someone give me a explanation and analysis for this quote(TKAM)

“First of all,” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-” “Sir?” “-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
