About this quote

This traditional proverb suggests that luck tends to align with action rather than hesitation. It encourages taking calculated risks and facing uncertain situations with courage. Rather than waiting for circumstances to become perfect, those who act decisively often create their own opportunities. The underlying message is that bravery is frequently rewarded, while passivity rarely leads to success.

This ancient Latin proverb has circulated for over two millennia. Classical writers, including Virgil in the Aeneid and Pliny the Elder, helped popularise various forms of the phrase throughout the Roman world.

People often display this print in a home office or study to encourage decisive action and daily confidence.
