Description
Fortune Favors The Brave in Japanese is 勇者は幸運に恵まれる which is read yūsha wa kōun ni megumareru
勇者は幸運に恵まれる (yūsha wa kōun ni megumareru): the brave are blessed with good fortune.
Fortune favors the brave: boldness moves fortune, and the brave get the luck. The Japanese says it as a statement about the brave, that they are blessed with good fortune, where the English makes Fortune the actor; it is a modern rendering made for the English line, plain and grammatical, with no older Japanese proverb under it, so a scroll of these words says in Japanese what the title says. The Japanese tradition's own word on fortune before a charge is 運は天にあり, fortune is Heaven's, and it moves anyway; whether you hang it for the luck or for the boldness is yours.
The Japanese sentence is the English-Japanese dictionaries' rendering of the English proverb fortune favors the brave, in print by 1957, which itself translates a Latin proverb Cicero already called vetus proverbium, an old proverb, in 45 BC.
