Looking for an italian proverb similar to or how to say "he who never took a chance never had a chance?"?

Question

I'm looking for either a translation or if there's an italian proverb that says something similar I'd also be interested in knowing that. I'd prefer a definition from an Italian speaker as opposed to someone just looking it up on babblefish or osme other translater.

Answer 1

In Italian we often say, "ogni lasciata è persa"... which isn't quite the same thing, but basically it says to take chances, and that if you don't, you've lost the opportunity for good. hope that was helpful.

Answer 2

Frankie gave you the best answer.

An other proverb exist "chi non risica(=rischia), non rosica"

more or less "he who doesn't take the risk, doesn't eat": it is generally referred to any risk-avoidance choice
