Love is an alchemist that can transmute poison into food--and a spaniel, that prefers even punishment from one hand to caresses from another. But it is in love as in war, we are often more indebted for our success to the weakness of the defence than to the energy of the attack; for mere idleness has ruined more women than passion; vanity more than idleness, and credulity more than either.

Charles Caleb Colton

My playing style? I'm a right back who likes to attack but I also know when it's time to attack and when you need to stay behind. I have to put a balance between defence and attack.

Stephan Lichtsteiner

The defence and air defence ministers were both replaced and more than 2,000 officers lost their jobs.

Mathias Rust

They are not the same - Xavi is more the man of passing and Iniesta can dribble more - but they have great vision, they are important to the defence and the attack.

Marco van Basten

We know that defence work results in more than great defence hardware - it can drive innovation and advances in all areas of our life.

Jay Weatherill

A more worldly and competent foreign and defence policy is by far the preferred first line of defence - rather than the default position of relying on expensive but problematic hardware.

Paul Keating

There is a direct correlation between what al Qaeda says and what it does. And the one thing that has been the gold standard of correlation has been bin Laden's 1995 - or was it 1996? - pledge that every attack is going to be more powerful than the last. If you go back to the first attack in Yemen in 1992 and chart it out, every attack has been more powerful, more destructive than the last one.

Michael Scheuer

To win games sometimes I need to get more in attack, and sometimes I need to defend more, but the main thing is to focus on getting the three points every game, and I will manage when to go forward more and when to help the team in defence.

Marcos Alonso

I have always had a keen interest in defence and military history and read more on this subject than anything else.

Bob Ainsworth

Alfredo Di Stéfano was the greatest footballer of all time - far better even than Pelé. He was, simultaneously, the anchor in defence, the playmaker in midfield, and the most dangerous marksman in attack.

Helenio Herrera

Defence is our best attack.

Jay Weatherill

Strength lies not in defence but in attack

Adolf Hitler

For me, it is very important to control a situation in defence. You can always score goals, but you have to add stability in the defence.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

This ISIS group, they attack Muslims more than they attack anyone else.

Mona Eltahawy

Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.

Sun Tzu

Well, you have a defence attache here, that's a step forward. Your Defence Minister has been here, our defence people have exchanges with you. So friendly relations at the military level are already in existence.

Sellapan Ramanathan
