Money lost is bewailed with unfeigned tears. [Lat., Ploratur lacrimis amissa pecunia veris.]

Juvenal

All powerful money gives birth and beauty. [Lat., Et genus et formam regina pecunia donat.]

Horace

Money is to be sought for first of all; virtue after wealth. [Lat., Quaerenda pecunia primum est; virtus post nummos.]

Horace

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

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

Samuel Butler

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

Walter Raleigh

The sinews of war are five - men, money, materials, maintenance (food) and morale.

Ernest Hemingway

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

Plutarch

The love of pelf increases with the pelf. [Lat., Crescit amor nummi quantum ipsa pecunia crescit.]

Juvenal

The universe is made up of an endless ocean of life itself. It is an endless ocean of itself. And for a time it binds itself together in particularized forms. Those forms have perception and they perceive themselves as being separate.

Frederick Lenz

Culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines.

Terence McKenna

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

People say the war in Iraq is a bad war, and the war in Afghanistan is a good war, but what's the difference between them? Democratic people around the world cannot accept that this is a good war. This is just endless war.

Malalai Joya

Little Bush says we are at war, but we are not at war because to be at war Congress has to vote for it. He says we are at war on terror, but that is a metaphor, though I doubt if he knows what that means. It's like having a war on dandruff, it's endless and pointless.

Gore Vidal
