Fortune favours the bold, Fortune favours the brave, and Fortune favours the strong are three common translations of the famous and often-quoted ancient Latin proverb "Fortuna fortes adiuvat". The phrase means that Fortuna, the Goddess of luck, is more likely to help those that take risks, take action, and develop their skills proactively. The phrase dates back to Roman times. It appears in a number of Latin texts dating from the first century BC, and is often associated with Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid.
