Wu: "But for 395 years, come high water or hell - no matter who threatens to bring it - Boston has stood up for the people we love and the country we built. And we’re not stopping now."

Wu: "Boston is not a city that tolerates tyranny. We are the city that leads in the storm; that stands up under pressure, together; and finds strength in each other. We will defend the people we love with all that we’ve got. I couldn’t ask for more in a family."

Wu: "God bless our City, God bless our people, and God save whoever messes with Boston."
