QotD: Frederick the Great on defence

Filed under: History, Military, Quotations — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 01:00

Defense lines take up more ground than one has troops to occupy […] Little minds want to defend everything, sensible people see only the main thing, parry the big blows and tolerate a slight misfortune in order to avoid a greater one. He who will defend everything defends nothing.

Frederick II of Prussia, aka Frederick the Great
