Habit with it's iron sinews, clasps us and leads us day by day.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Andrew Mitchell
Let my skin and sinews and bones dry up, together with all the flesh and blood of my body! I welcome it! But I will not move from this spot until I have attained the supreme and final wisdom.
Buddha
To most boys with growing limbs and swelling sinews, physical activity is a natural instinct, and there is no need to drive them into the football field or the fives court: they go there because they like it, and there is no need to make games compulsory for them.
E. F. Benson
Money is the sinews of love, as of war.
George Farquhar

Hilary Mantel

Izaak Walton
Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.
Jeremy Taylor
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
The sinews of war are infinite money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have seen the movement of the sinews of the sky, And the blood coursing in the veins of the moon.
Muhammad Iqbal
The sinews of art and literature, like those of war, are money.
Samuel Butler
Anger is one of the sinews of the soul.
Thomas Fuller
It's kind of a language I've developed over time that's basically breaking up the face into components and planes. Inside each plane, I draw gradation marks, and when planes come together, they form sinews, a hairlike weave that's like a landscape of the face.
Toyin Odutola
