Fortune favors the brave

परीक्ष्य सत्कुलं विद्याम्
शीलं शौर्यं सुरूपताम् ।
विधिर्ददाति निपुणः
कन्यामिव दरिद्रताम् ॥

The fate wisely attributes poverty to a person only after thoroughly studying his family background (cultural background), knowledge, conduct, courage and his beauty, just like what the caring parents do before arranging their daughter's marriage.

(One who has any of the qualities mentioned above, should be able to make a living out of it)

Fortune favors the brave.
Every man is the architect of his own future.
