"Fortune favors the bold" is a saying originated by Pliny the Elder when he attempted to help people on the coastline during the eruption of mount Vesuvius. (Sadly, Pliny died from a fatal asthma attack during his rescue attempt, casting the truth of the maxim in doubt.)

This proverb was cited by Benjamin Sisko when he launched his assault to recapture Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Favor the Bold")

In Latin the phrase is Audaces Fortuna Iuvat.
