More quotes by Antoine-Henri Jomini
A state attacked by another which renews an old claim rarely yields it without a war: it prefers to defend its territory, as is always more honorable. But it may be advantageous to take the offensive, instead of awaiting the attack on the frontiers.
Antoine-Henri Jomini

Antoine-Henri Jomini
