Boston

“And this is good old Boston, And the Cabots talk only to God.”

“Boston State-house is the hub of the solar system. You couldn't pry that out of a Boston man if you had the tire of all creation straightened out for a crow-bar.”

“Massachusetts has been the wheel within New England, and Boston the wheel within Massachusetts. Boston therefore is often called the "hub of the world," since it has been the source and fountain of the ideas that have reared and made America.”

“A Boston man is the east wind made flesh.”

“The sea returning day by dayOr over the town blue ocean flows.”

“One day through the primeval woodTrod in the footsteps of that calf.”

“A hundred thousand men were ledTo well-established precedent.”

“A solid man of Boston;And the first salmon and the first green peas.”

“Solid men of Boston, banish long potations!Solid men of Boston, make no long orations!”

“Solid men of Boston, make no long orations;Never lose your way like the loggerheads of London.”
