Interestingly, this is actually a concept taken directly from Clausewitz.

http://www.clausewitz.com/CWZHOME/Quotations.html

Another one that may be familiar is this one:

 “A defender must always seek to change over to the attack as soon as he 
has gained the benefit of the defense.”

Sounds an awful lot like Sethra's strategy when fighting Fornia, doesn't 
it?
