English in a Minute: Fools Rush in Where Angels Fear to Tread

Welcome to English in a Minute!
To rush means to move quickly. And tread is another way of saying “walk.” So, is the phrase, “fools rush in where angels fear to tread” advice for a foot race?
A: Something big is happening outside! There are tons of police, a fire engine and a crowd of people. Come on, let’s go!
D: No way. Remember: Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
A: Forget fools and angels, Dan. Let’s go!
D: I’ll just wait here!
“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” means that it is foolish to act in a situation full of unknowns. We often just shorten it to “fools rush in.” This is good advice. It is wise to wait sometimes, Anna.
