Talk:Fortune favours the bold

message: Should this be "Second World War", or are the years wrong? Larry660 (talk) 04:35, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: The phrase was used as the motto of the Royal Air Force station based at East Fortune, in East Lothian. The base was operational in the First World War and between 1940 and 1947.

message: 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)

message: Hey. I added quotes and changed the spelling to the American Version of "Favor" for the DSN episode. I don't want to deal with American vs British spelling; the rules say it stays how it is. However, since this is a proper name, I feel it should be the way the name actually is. Please don't revert this without discussing why it should be.
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. 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. Maybe someone else could. - Maxvip (talk) 22:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

message: In a scene close to the beginning of the movie, a scene shows the Keanu Reeves character from the back upper torso and clearly visible is a tattoo across his upper back reading “fortis fortuna adiuvat”. I think this is an interesting fact though it is a pop culture one. Other articles have much more trivial examples but this is a Latin phrase so it seems inherently high brow and perhaps different standards. Anyone have an opinion? I’m happy to add it, under the U.S. near Yale university. Their reputation has dropped considerably since it has embraced humanities classes that are woke, a joke, and critter trash from the slow poke folk.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sychonic (talk • contribs) 22:27, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is adding a reference to John Wick (first film) appropriate?

message: This article is a list of trivial references to organizations that have used the phrase as a motto throughout history. This doesn't seem to be encyclopedic. This article would be improved if the entirety of the the "Historical Examples" were removed and replaced by a list of variants with explanations and a brief note that the phrase is the motto of many military organizations. The bit of trivia that some organization has this as their motto is more properly considered a fact about that organization, not something that needs to be recorded on this page.
