You can take the boy out of the Midwest, but you can’t take the Midwest out of the boy.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that even if someone moves away from the place they grew up in, like the Midwest region of the United States, the values, beliefs, and way of thinking they developed there will always be a part of who they are. No matter how much a person changes or where they go, the influence of their upbringing and home will always remain inside them.
