 * Delete. This is attributed to Pliny the Elder by his nephew Pliny the Younger in his Letters. I've added it to the Elder's article with source info. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. We also have this proverb under Virgil (Aeneid, Book X), and I've added it to Ennius.  Would there be some point in collecting these, and the Pliny one, in the "Fortune favours the bold" article? Antiquary 12:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Our general principle has been that "single-quote" articles are not acceptable. What you suggest is certainly a borderline case, but I would be inclined to start a more general Fortune theme instead.  121a0012 19:07, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
