Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. The Captain Sisko quote from Deep Space Nine should be included in the article. It is a proper name, so 'favor' is correct, not 'favour'.-Witan (talk) 03:16, 30 April 2010 (UTC) In fact, that line seems like it's Self-Promotion (and is unsourced), but as the article is a stub as-is, I couldn't bring myself to shorten it further. On a related note, is the name of the Boston, MA company 'Fortune Favours the Bold' or 'Fortune Favors the Bold'? I think it would probably be the second however, I couldn't find any info on it online. Please don't revert this without discussing why it should be. However, since this is a proper name, I feel it should be the way the name actually is. I don't want to deal with American vs British spelling the rules say it stays how it is. I added quotes and changed the spelling to the American Version of 'Favor' for the DSN episode. To aid is more in the aspect of bringing help to, which does recognize the prepositional verbal prefix's meaning. I also wouldn't use 'help' in this construct as that is what the root verb (iuvare) without the ad- prefix by itself means. Fortuna is the Roman goddess of luck, chance, and wealth, and that's where we get 'Lady Luck' from (usually cited with reference to gambling, besides the word taking feminine form). Proof of this is demonstrated by the English word 'fortitude' which means strength, while boldness is expressed modernly in words like 'audacity' (from audax, audacis). With my study of Latin, this could also be translated as 'Luck aids the strong.' I'm not certain where 'they' get 'bold' from 'strong' as the physical characteristic doesn't really translate into fearlessness, i.e. It seems like this is not a very good motto if the people who made it famous died shortly after saying it. :-/ - Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.90.11.207 (talk) 05:03, 9 November 2012 (UTC) Should this be 'Second World War', or are the years wrong?
