"Destiny favors the bold"

The original might be "Fortune favors the bold", and is a quote from Virgil. It was also used by Oliver Stone in Alexander (that movie with Colin Farrell that flopped).

One of my favorite quotes: "Modesty is the quality of people with no other qualities". I have no idea who said that. It might have been me.

"Now while you're waiting for us to come and kill you, we highly reccommend pissing yourselves, followed by a course of praying to your impotent God, then cowering in the corner and begging--always a good thing--but if you act now, there's still time for an old-fashioned suicide!!"--Jan Valentine (Hellsing)

"You will find out just how strong your Mobile Suit is when it goes up against the Red Comet!"--Char Aznable (this is from a video game, forgot which one--I do know it's NOT from any of the SRW games, though)

maybe the original word is "Fortune" but "Destiny" suits much much better,dont you think?



btw that word is really wrong : "Modesty is the quality of people with no other qualities".

What is bad about modesty? I wouldnt want a showy and selfish person as a friend.

Depends on how you look at it. Destiny can either be seen as a predetermined course of your life (in which case you don't have control over it whatsoever and the quote fits), or as something you make yourself (in which the quote loses much of its punch, because obviously bold people will take better care of their lives). Fortune however is always fickle and cannot be controlled. Lady Luck is finicky about whom she'll bestow her favor upon. For me the quote also means that boldness to take your life in your own hands negates the need for luck.

Either way, mine wasn't a critique of your quote, merely an observation I thought interesting.

There's nothing really bad about modesty. The real meaning of that quote is the fact that modesty isn't truly a quality. If you're proud of being modest, then you're not modest after all, no? And, imo, people should be proud of their qualities. Makes them strive toward the best of them. Lacking modesty, not putting that much emphasis on it, doesn't necessarily make one showy and selfish, as you put it.

It's from an old Japanese game that they translated into english. It's actually:

"All your base are belong to us"

Destiny is the most complicated thing you can think of. You say there is two ways destiny can be seen as but there is another one according to my belief.

There is a river called life. You are in the middle of this river.you cant see what is ahead of you but you know that river continues to flow even if you cant see it.sometimes river turns in a direction and you dont have a choice but following, sometimes there are more than one direction you can choose.no matter what you do you can only be sure about one thing, the river will continue to flow until the time come for it to stop.

Destiny is the whole line that this river flows. even includes the parts you havent see yet.

Luck cant effect everything. You can meet with someone with luck but you cant get married to him/her with luck. But destiny includes everything you can think of,even the luck. So it is more of a punch imo.

Either way, mine wasn't a critique of your quote, merely an observation I thought interesting.

Sure I understand.Thank you for your consideration.

And, imo, people should be proud of their qualities. Makes them strive toward the best of them. Lacking modesty, not putting that much emphasis on it, doesn't necessarily make one showy and selfish, as you put it.

Modesty is sth you show to others. you cant be modest to yourself or it cant be called being modest should I say. it is lying to yourself.

İf you are aware that you are modest,you can be proud of it and still continue being modest to others.so there is nothing wrong about being proud of it. but being proud of it doesnt mean you can brag about it.


I am not that good in english so forgive me if you have hard times understanding some parts.As I said destiny is very very hard to understand even in my native language and I dont think anybody can understand it completely.it is sth like a paradox.so I tried to make it simpler by that example.Take care.
