Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted.
--
Fragment 842.Sophocles
For a breeze of morning moves,
And the planet of Love is on high,
Beginning to faint in the light that she loves
On a bed of daffodil sky,
To faint in the light of the sun she loves,
To faint in his light, and to die.Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
Fortune is always on the side of the largest battalions.
Marie de Rabutin-Chantal Sevigne
There are no fields of amaranth on this side of the grave: there are no voices, O Rhodop?! that are not soon mute, however tuneful: there is no name, with whatever emphasis of passionate love repeated, of which the echo is not faint at last.
Walter Savage Landor
…he had to admit to a faint admiration (faint as angostura colouring gin and water)
