"A wiser course may be to avoid stepping on the area," said Uziel.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

smosaka Dec 30, 2005	I'm terrible at these things!
ragethe3rd Dec 30, 2005	Hehe cute. Im slow so I didnt get it though
bootscooter58 Dec 30, 2005	I think the baby boomers who are familiar with Elvis songs are the ones who got this teaser. I loved it. Thanks so much.
bballer21 Dec 30, 2005	i do not know if it was on this site or another one, but i have heard this before. good work anyways!!
FulanitoGM Dec 30, 2005	Dang, I HAVE heard this before, so I should have gotten it. And, no, I am not a baby boomer! As it was, I only got half of the saying, "fools rush in." Good one!
wizkid Dec 30, 2005	this is a cute word of wisdom. Love it.
Brainy_1 Dec 30, 2005	Nice one! I know the saying, but didn't get the answer. Keep 'em comin!
Armaidenpriya Dec 30, 2005	Who's Uziel (yes, I know he's an angel but I've never heard of him)
Lucasgal Dec 30, 2005	How Cute!!!
christine77 Dec 30, 2005	i did not get this one, but it was a good one.
WJSMama Dec 30, 2005	I got the first part, but not the angels part. I only have heard of 'fools rush in' because of the movie
question Dec 30, 2005	I agree with windancir, it's Uriel, as far as I can remember- when it comes to christian upbringing. Uziel just doesn't ring a bell.
thimblenoggin Dec 30, 2005	Anybody here ever heard of Alexander Pope?
jcann Dec 30, 2005	I got it right away. Did Elvis originate the saying? I know he did a song about it, but it seems to me I heard it way before he became popular--'Whoops--I'm dating myself!
sweetime Dec 31, 2005	i'm neither a baby boomer nor an elvis fan - i guess different saying are just known in different places by different people. thanks to everyone who said they liked it
riddlelover Jan 01, 2006	Whoa... I've never even heard that saying Anywho, rather good!
jlvsbeks Jan 01, 2006	thanx i almost had it but just had brainfreeze on the wording of the phrase
SPUTNIK2 Jan 13, 2006	I was pretty stumped on this one , even when I GOT the answer hehehe
paul726 Feb 17, 2006	Very good, and, apparently, very popular. Well done!
GebbieRose May 28, 2006	VERY nicely done!
scallio Dec 30, 2008	I thought it was "ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN" as I missed the reference to angels. Fun teaser.
tahoegiles Dec 30, 2008	"Fools Rush In" (1940) is a popular song. The lyrics were written by Johnny Mercer with music by Rube Bloom. [1] The major hits at the time of introduction were Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle and Tommy Dorsey with Frank Sinatra. The song proved popular with 1960's pop and rhythm and blues artists, resulting in charted remakes in 1960-61 (Brook Benton), 1962 (Etta James),and Rick Nelson (1963).[citation needed] The Rick Nelson version was a notable hit, reaching #12 in the Billboard pop charts. It was also recorded by Doris Day and André Previn in their 1962 album 'Duet'
(user deleted) Dec 30, 2008	ugh, I thought the angel's name was Uriel? meaning light of God. . .
VitalStatistic Dec 30, 2008	Not bad. I didn't get it. I guess I could have googled to find out who the names were. Maybe the second line of the answer would be better as a hint.
builder Dec 30, 2008	simple, but pretty cool
emu77alu02 Dec 30, 2008	Oooh, that was good!
SEPTILLIONGOLDS Dec 30, 2008	Nice one! And how did people post many things on one day
Jimmymo Dec 30, 2008	Nice one Sweetime. Fun way to start the day!
FatHead Dec 30, 2008	I recognized Gabriel, even if I didn't recognize Uziel, and the rest fell into place. Awesome! Whoever said something about Elvis, the book of Proverbs was around longer.
bradon182001 Dec 30, 2008	Very nicely written. Thanks for posting.
precious1026 Dec 30, 2008	Easy, soooooooo, Easy, I got it on the first read, it usually takes me two or three readings before I have a clue. Not the exact wording, nor word for word, but close enough.
craniac Dec 30, 2008	Bartlett's Familiar Quotations traces the English phrase "For fools rush in where angels fear to tread" back to Alexander Pope's long poem, An Essay on Criticism, dated 1711.
deepsea Dec 30, 2008	I got "Only fools rush in"
avonma Dec 30, 2008	I would have thought everyone knew the old saying. Thanks goodness I did; and it was fairly easy! Good one! Thanks!
srpwuzhere Dec 30, 2008	I have no idea wat this was, and I am TERRIBLE at rebuses.
katamaster Jan 02, 2009	I got the fools rush in part. I was not aware of the entire quote. Thanks.
Babe Dec 30, 2011	I did not get it, but it was a good one. I should have tried harder because the clues were all there. Some are correct in that the older ones will get it better.
lukasiwicz Dec 30, 2011	Well, winddancir, there is a Uriel, an archangel, but there's also Uziel, or Uzziel, or Usiel, the angel of mercy, who is subordinate to Uriel and all the other archangels. It's all mythology, but kinda fun.
gaylewolf Dec 30, 2011	Interesting saying! This year is winding down. Happy, healthy New Year, everyone! Hi to my new mysterious friend!
cutebug Dec 30, 2011	I was lost on that one. And I will say Hi to my old friend Gayle
Chobuck Dec 30, 2011	If you are familiar with the phrase (I am) it was an easy puzzle.
HABS2933 Dec 30, 2011	I didn't get it, but I don't think you need to be old to be familiar with the saying. I know it, and I don't think I'm old. Older than a lot on the site yes - but not old!
mepapa Dec 30, 2011	Not too difficult but fun. Haven't been around in a while and something. Is Bugging me...where is doehead? Laying low? Haven't even seen one of those Cute little"AROB" things.
auntiesis Dec 30, 2011	It seems we have lost doehead, and he is sadly missed. But we have cutebug to fill in the empty spot. Welcome, cutebug. I didn't get the puzzle, shame on me.
Mandy7 Dec 30, 2011	That sounds a little like my sister. Too bust to do something without realizing the danger or the consequence that will follow. And lots of other things. I have a friend names Gabriel. Hmm. I wonder what he would think if I told him his name was a popular angel name. L.O.L.
