| I never heard that saying before, so I didn't have a prayer. I did like the clues once I saw the answer.  |

| Likewise, though naturally everyone's heard of braves being indians.
Still, very clever.. i thought it would be something stupid like "he had reservations.." lol  |

| Good one. Caught me out again. I thought Indian would be in the answer (as I now guess was the intention by not saying "Indian warrior") and came up with "He's an Indian giver" even though that would have been a weak answer. I should have known Fortune would have to come in somewhere. |

| I too thought fortune would come into the answer but could not come up with it...I was thinking ..not much of anything... |

| I came close but I have never heard that particular saying. I have heard of a saying that fortune favors the well-prepared, however. I was thinking along the lines of "To the brave goes everything." |

| I agree with Araldite. Knew the phrase, but still didn't get it til I read the answer. |

| I got "Fortune smiles on the brave." Does that count?
BTW "Indian giver" seems like it could also be a correct answer given the clues. |
