Le véritable Amphitryon,
Est l'Amphitryon o? l'on dine.

The true Amphitryon Is the Amphitryon who gives dinner.

Act III, sc. v.Moliere
Dinner at the "Continental" to commemorate the great reform [the abolition of the serfdom in 1861]. Tedious and incongruous. To dine, drink champagne, make a racket, and deliver speeches about national consciousness, the conscience of the people, freedom, and such things, while slaves in tail-coats are running round your tables, veritable serfs, and your coachmen wait outside in the street, in the bitter cold—that is lying to the Holy Ghost.
Anton Chekhov
Why should I go when it's going so good? … I lived through the garbage. I might as well dine on the caviar.
Beverly Sills
The Deer don't dine
When a Wolf's about,
And the Porcupine
Sticks his quill-points out.Arthur Guiterman
You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who is still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it.
John McCain
The hungry judges soon the sentence sign,
And wretches hang that jurymen may dine.Alexander Pope
