Remember that fate is not a noun. So can't smile with or over etc. Therefore on is correct.

Sowmya said:   1 decade ago
'On' answer is the correct answer.

Correct! as per the sentence its uses different. On is the best suited here in this sentence but I don't mean it will suit for the other senstence.

Hello, I thought that answer is with, but it is wrong. For this sentence on will suit.

Shaik Basha said:   1 decade ago
'On' is the right answer here as smile is an expression. It's for sure.

I think on is right as smile is an expression and make it is the best preposition which can be used in that situation.

On is the right answer because smile is expression.

"Smile on" for this sentence would be incorrect as it gives a negative effect. It means that u r trying to tease someone or making fun of someone. Here the sentence says that fate will favor those who have urge to complete their work/duty irrespective of all hurdles.

Ex:

Smile on you -- incorrect.
Smile with you. correct.

Open with smile - correct.
Open on smile - incorrect.

Smile on your face - correct.
Smile with your face - incorrect.

It simply depends upon the situation.
