Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is fools rush in where angels fear to tread and it is a phrase meaning “used to say that inexperienced people usually get themselves involved into dangerous/risky situations that more experienced people avoid”.
Example Sentence: There is no hurry in proceeding with the light railway or of adopting a ‘one nation, one highway specification’ in densely populated and ecologically vulnerable regions of the country. Rushing through these projects in the face of intimations from nature, such as landslides, that we are vulnerable would really be a case of fools rushing in where the wise refuse to tread. New railway lines and highway widening should be undertaken only after public hearings open to citizens.
This phrase is present in The Hindu article Development that is mindful of nature and click here to read it.
