Fortune favours the brave.

The saying encourages bold action by suggesting that people who face danger, uncertainty, or difficulty may gain opportunities that caution would leave untouched.

It does not promise that courage guarantees success. Rather, it praises a willingness to take considered risks when hesitation itself may prevent achievement.

Use it to encourage someone confronting a demanding but worthwhile choice, or to commend a person who acted decisively. It suits motivational, reflective, or rhetorical contexts; avoid using it to pressure someone into reckless action or to dismiss genuine risks.
