The full phrase is "fools walk where angels fear to tread". Basically it means that a foolish person will tend to do things or get into situations that ordinary people won't.

I put a twist on the phrase "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread." I say if there are places where even "Angels fear to tread" then I am grateful the Fools. Edward Snowden might be one of these Fools, going where "good Americans" fear to tread.

The actual phrase is, "Only a fool goes where angels fear to tread." It is used to refer to someone who has done something extremely stupid or dangerous.... such as going someplace that angels are afraid to go to.

It goes, "Fools rush in...where angels fear to tread."
Sort of along the lines of "Marry in haste - regret in leisure."

Jhn 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Jhn 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jhn 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. Jhn 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Jhn 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - i am sure this answers you question Mat 25:31 ¶ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. . . . . Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. <><

IOf angels fear to go somewhere then humans should fear even more so it must be a very dangerous/frightful place.
