Atticus is a thinking man and he wants to be sure that what he says along with the behavior he models set good examples for his children. He wants to be consistent that his words and beliefs match one another.

Atticus didn't find it necessary to be boisterous in order to show his manliness or strength. He wasn't showy, he was consistant. He didn't need to be loud to be heard; people naturally listened to him because he commanded attention by his mere presence.
