Quote by Oliver Goldsmith

Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder our very homes.

Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the fiel

Summary

This quote suggests that it is better to confront an adversary directly and face challenges upfront rather than waiting idly for them to cause harm or invade one's personal space. It advocates for a proactive approach to dealing with conflict or difficult situations, emphasizing the importance of confronting problems before they escalate and potentially pose a threat to one's well-being or possessions. By taking the initiative to meet the enemy head-on, it implies a willingness to confront and overcome obstacles rather than passively allowing them to affect one's life.
