Audace Meaning

[Mandy Geise]

Thecontext of the speeches to the Third Army is the preparation prior to Normandy's landings. For American soldiers involved in this operation, this was the first big action of the war. However US Army had already fought hard battles in Africa and hard landings in Sicilia and Italy.

So Patton needed to motivate soldiers that had had a conventionnal training to be as involved as their counterparts in the Mediterranean Sea, and from a larger point of view as Marines in the Pacific or airmen over German's plants.The issue was not the strategy nor the tactics, it was about giving inexperienced soldiers the willingness to fight in dangerous operations such as a landing.

One of the bravest men I saw in the African campaign was on a telegraph pole in the midst of furious fire while we were moving toward Tunis. I stopped and asked him what the hell he was doing up there. He answered, 'Fixing the wire, sir.' 'Isn't it a little unhealthy up there right now?' I asked. 'Yes sir, but this goddamn wire has got to be fixed.' I asked, 'Don't those planes strafing the road bother you?' And he answered, 'No sir, but you sure as hell do.' Now, there was a real soldier. A real man. A man who devoted all he had to his duty, no matter how great the odds, no matter how seemingly insignificant his duty appeared at the time.

According to the movie "Patton" this phrase was used by Patton in a disagreement with General Lucian Truscott before a bold 'end around' amphibious campaign in Northern Sicily. Getting to Messina before British General Montgomery was Patton's goal. In order to do that, Patton planned a bold amphibious campaign to get around strong German resistance on the road to Messina. Truscott's 3rd Division had already been involved in heavy fighting, and Patton wanted him to pull out and immediately accomplish the amphibious landing. Patton wanted Truscott to do the 'end run' in order to relieve the American unit that was being devastated by the German resistance. Gen. Truscott asked Patton to delay the amphibious attack for just one day to give his 3rd Division a chance to rest and regroup before trying the dangerous amphibious landing. Patton, not wanting his timeline to be delayed used the quote from Frederick the Great, "l'audace l'audace toujours l'audace", which basically means, "Boldness, boldness, always boldness". He used it as a means to motivate Gen. Truscott, and to basically end the discussion about the one day delay. Truscott as well as Gen. Bradley, Patton's XO, knew that the casualties would be high, as also did Patton. But to Patton, rescuing the devastated American unit was more important than the loss of 3rd Division men...not to mention Patton's timeline to beat Montgomery to Messina.

Patton did quote Frederick the Great with "l'audace l'audace toujours l'audace", but also included in this statement is Frederick's advice to attack by surprise and do the unexpected. Do not do the expected. Frederick was a wise man, and we should consider everything he said in reference to an attack upon an enemy.

"Fortune favours the bold" or "fortune favours the brave" are among the English translations of the Latin proverb "audentes Fortuna iuvat" and its variations. The phrase has been widely used as a slogan in the Western world to emphasize the rewards of courage and bravery, particularly within military organizations, and it is also used up to the present day on the coats of arms of numerous families and clans. It has historically served as a popular motto for universities, along with other academic institutions and recreational associations.

Another version of the proverb, fortes Fortuna adiuvat, 'fortune favours the strong/brave', was used in Terence's 151 BC comedy play Phormio, line 203.[3] Ovid extends the phrase at I.608 of his didactic work, Ars Amatoria, writing "audentem Forsque Venusque iuvat" or "Venus, like Fortune, favors the bold."

Pliny the Younger quotes his uncle, Pliny the Elder, as using the phrase Fortes fortuna iuvat when deciding to take his fleet and investigate the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, in the hope of helping his friend Pomponianus: "'Fortes' inquit 'fortuna iuvat: Pomponianum pete.'" ("'Fortune', he said, 'favours the brave: head for Pomponianus.'")[4][5] Pliny the Elder ultimately died during the expedition.

The Latin phrase Fortuna Eruditis Favet ("fortune favours the prepared mind") is also used. Louis Pasteur, the French microbiologist and chemist, expressed this as: "Dans les champs de l'observation le hasard ne favorise que les esprits prpars", meaning "In the fields of observation, chance favours only the prepared mind."

In The Prince, Niccol Machiavelli remarked, "It is better to be adventurous than cautious," but extending the metaphor, "because fortune is a woman and . . . it is necessary to beat and ill-use her; and it is seen that she allows herself to be mastered by the adventurous."[6][7]

Because it was the motto of the Duke of Wellington, Earl of Mornington, Virtutis Fortuna Comes is used as the motto for the British Army's Yorkshire Regiment having been previously used by one of the Yorkshire's antecedent regiments, the Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding [33rd/76th Foot]).[11] It is also the motto for Wellington College, Berkshire.[12]

A number of armigerous families use this motto, often featured on their coats of arms; these families include Clan MacKinnon,[13] Clan Turnbull,[14] and several Dickson families, including a number resident in Forfarshire, and the Dickson Barons Islington.[15]

In the movies John Wick and John Wick: Chapter 2, the title character bears a tattoo across his upper back reading "FORTIS FORTUNA ADIUVAT". "Fortis" means both "strong" and "brave". Thus, the saying denotes "Fortune favors the strong and the courageous". It should also be mentioned that "adiuvat" means "help" and the saying can also be translated as "Fortune helps the strong and the courageous".

In the 2002 Film Gangs of New York , midway during the film, on election night, Boss Tweed yells out to the gathered crowd "Fortuna Juvat Audentes". Leading the chant back was the lead character, Amsterdam Vallon, and they replied in English "Fortune Favors the Bold".
