Fortune is a Woman

"I certainly think it is better to be impetuous than cautious, for Fortune is a woman, and it is necessary, if you wish to conquer her, to take her by force; and it can be seen that she lets herself be overcome by the bold rather than by those who proceed coldly. And therefore, like a woman, she is always a friend to the young, because they are less cautious, fiercer, and master her with greater audacity."
-Niccoló Machiavelli,
The Prince, chapter 25
