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

Plutarch

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

Ernest Hemingway

The sinews of war are infinite money.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Money is the sinews of love, as of war.

George Farquhar

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

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

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Divorces led to bodies of men (called legislatures) protecting women collectively as other men (called husbands) failed to protect women individually.

Warren Farrell

Truth has anciently been called the first casualty of war. Money may, in fact, have priority.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Men think they may justly do that for which they have a precedent.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

I am often asked why men don't get as worked up as they might about women - particularly poor women - having to use their bodies as prostitutes. Because most men unconsciously experience themselves as prostitutes every day - the miner, the firefighter, the construction worker, the logger, the soldier, the meatpacker - these men are prostitutes in the direct sense: they sacrifice their bodies for money and for their families.

Warren Farrell

I feel, as never before, how justly, from the dawn of history to the present time, men have paid the homage of their gratitude and admiration to the memory of those who nobly sacrifice their lives, that their fellow-men may live in safety and in honor.

Edward Everett

We may love men and we may live with men, but some of them have said stupendously inaccurate things about us, our bodies, and our psyches.

Natalie

Money is an instrumentality of the profit motive and must be issued and backed only by private enterprisers. Economic and political perversities are inescapable while government is admitted to money power. Since all national governments have, up to the present, been money issuing powers we may justly attribute all the economic and political ills of mankind to this single error.

E.C. Riegel

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

There was a war going on in our house. A silent war that sounded no guns, and the bodies that fell were only wishes that died and the bullets were only words and the blood that spilled was always called pride.

Virginia C. Andrews
