Page numbers differ from edition to edition, so giving the exact page number is going to be tough. I do know where the quote is, though, and I can give you the location by providing the chapter and paragraph numbers. The quote can be found in chapter 14, paragraph 30.

Regardless of edition and page number, the quote is important to the story. Aunt Alexandra is petitioning Atticus to fire Calpurnia because she thinks Calpurnia is not a good influence on Scout and Jem. Atticus defends Calpurnia, claiming she is every bit as good as a birth mother would be to Scout and Jem. The quote is another example of how Atticus continually shows his ability to judge people based on their actions and not their skin color.
