A classical adage asserting that luck, success, or divine favor attend those who take risks decisively. Traced to the Latin 'Audaces fortuna iuvat' (Virgil, Aeneid X, 284), quoted by Pliny the Elder before his fatal sail into Vesuvius' eruption.
Jeder ist seines Glückes Schmied

The Greek version of 'fortune favors the bold,' rooted in the ancient Greek concept of arete (excellence through bold action). The Greek word tolmeros (daring) carries heroic connotations from Homer's Iliad. In a culture that produced Odysseus, boldness has been a celebrated virtue for three millennia.
