Though one can dine ordsprog

en Though one can dine in New York, one could not dwell there.
  Oscar Wilde

en The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their ''Hub',' as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
  Oscar Wilde

  St. Francis de Sales

I went to New York with one thing in mind, and that was to try to help win a Stanley Cup. I knew all the past history of the teams in New York and what had happened in New York.

Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? / He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; / He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
