The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed (1919)
Where women walk in public processions in the streets the same as the men,Where they enter the public assembly and take places the same as the men;Where the city of the faithfullest friends stands,Where the city of the cleanliness of the sexes stands,Where the city of the healthiest fathers stands,Where the city of the best-bodied mothers stands,There the great city stands.
