The bodies of men, munition, and money may justly be called the sinews of war.

Walter Raleigh

Money is the sinews of love, as of war.

George Farquhar

The sinews of war are infinite money.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

War begun without good provision of money beforehand for going through with it is but as a breathing of strength and blast that will quickly pass away. Coin is the sinews of war.

Francois Rabelais

Gird up your loins for the task that now lies ahead. I had asked you for men, money and materials. I have got them in generous measure. Now I demand more of you. Men, money and materials cannot by themselves bring victory or freedom. We must have the motive-power that will inspire us to brave deeds and heroic exploits.

Subhas Chandra Bose

The sinews of art and literature, like those of war, are money.

Samuel Butler

Endless money forms the sinews of war. [Lat., Nervi belli pecunia infinita.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero

He who first called money the sinews of the state seems to have said this with special reference to war.

Plutarch

If the Fed had a war on abortion like its war on poverty or war on drugs, within five years men would be having abortions!

Harry Browne

You don't need to be for or against the war to provide morale and support to the men and women who are fighting over seas. These are human beings who are doing a service.

Mike Thompson

For mines are for men, not for money. And money is not something to go mad about, and throw your hat into the air for. Money is for food and clothes and comfort, and a visit to the pictures. Money is to make happy the lives of children. Money is for security, and for dreams, and for hopes, and for purposes. Money is for buying the fruits of the earth, of the land where you were born.

Alan Paton

The painter who is familiar with the nature of the sinews, muscles, and tendons, will know very well, in giving movement to a limb, how many and which sinews cause it; and which muscle, by swelling, causes the contraction of that sinew; and which sinews, expanded into the thinnest cartilage, surround and support the said muscle.

Leonardo da Vinci

Environmental spending creates jobs in engineering, manufacturing, construction, materials, operations and maintenance.

Keith Ellison

By 1865, all Southern women - the happily and regrettably single, the perpetually engaged, the wives and widows - had tired of the war. The Confederacy was shrinking, and the morale of its remaining men shrinking with it.

Karen Abbott

The discussion about food doesn't make any sense without discussion at the same time of land, land use, land policy, fertility maintenance, and farm infrastructure maintenance.

Wendell Berry

The sinews of war are not gold, but good soldiers.

Niccolo Machiavelli
