“Endless money forms the sinews of war.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero (-106–-43 BC) Roman philosopher and statesman
“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.”
Et guerre faicte sans bonne provision d'argent, n'a qu'un souspirail de vigueur. Les nerfz des batailles sont les pecunes.

“Such war, as the arts live and breathe by, is continuous.”
William Carlos Williams (1883–1963) American poet
Introduction
The Wedge (1944)
Context: There is no poetry of distinction without formal invention, for it is in the intimate form that works of art achieve their exact meaning, in which they most resemble the machine, to give language its highest dignity, its illumination in the environment to which it is native. Such war, as the arts live and breathe by, is continuous.
It may be that my interests as expressed here are pre-art. If so I look for a development along these lines and will be satisfied with nothing else.
Rand Paul (1963) American politician, ophthalmologist, and United States Senator from Kentucky
