Cute, easy, and fun. Nice teaser

Perfect way to start a snowy day. Thanx!
Sorry to say I completely bombed this one. I guess it was too early this a.m. Enjoyed it a lot tho after I read the answer and felt completely dumb. Keep up the good work sweet.one.
I have never heard that saying before! so didnt get it at all but nice job anyway!
Ok...
I didn't get it... btw, I thought it was Uriel, and not Uziel? I could be wrong though... as I rush into things again!
im with just about everyone else on this, i've never heard of the freakin saying
very nice teaser... i got the andel and the fool but i didn't know that saying nicely put though... really something to think about too
Oooh, got it right away Thanks for the ego boost
I'm terrible at these things!
Hehe cute. Im slow so I didnt get it though
I think the baby boomers who are familiar with Elvis songs are the ones who got this teaser. I loved it. Thanks so much.
i do not know if it was on this site or another one, but i have heard this before.
good work anyways!!
good work anyways!!
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!
this is a cute word of wisdom. Love it.
Nice one! I know the saying, but didn't get the answer. Keep 'em comin!
Who's Uziel (yes, I know he's an angel but I've never heard of him)
How Cute!!!
i did not get this one, but it was a good one.
I got the first part, but not the angels part. I only have heard of 'fools rush in' because of the movie
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.
Anybody here ever heard of Alexander Pope?
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!
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

Whoa... I've never even heard that saying Anywho, rather good!

i almost had it but just had brainfreeze on the wording of the phrase
i almost had it but just had brainfreeze on the wording of the phrase
I was pretty stumped on this one , even when I GOT the answer hehehe
Very good, and, apparently, very popular. Well done!
VERY nicely done!
I thought it was "ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN" as I missed the reference to angels.
Fun teaser.
Fun teaser.
"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'

ugh, I thought the angel's name was Uriel? meaning light of God. . .
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.

simple, but pretty cool
Oooh, that was good!
Nice one! And how did people post many things on one day
Nice one Sweetime. Fun way to start the day!
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.

Very nicely written. Thanks for posting.
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.
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.
I got "Only fools rush in"
I would have thought everyone knew the old saying. Thanks goodness I did; and it was fairly easy! Good one!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have no idea wat this was, and I am TERRIBLE at rebuses.
I got the fools rush in part. I was not aware of the entire quote. Thanks.
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.
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.
Interesting saying! This year is winding down. Happy, healthy New Year, everyone!
Hi to my new mysterious friend!
Hi to my new mysterious friend!
I was lost on that one. And I will say Hi to my old friend Gayle
If you are familiar with the phrase (I am) it was an easy puzzle.
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!
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.
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.

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.

The stumper for me was Uziel.
Excellent! I believe there was some guy named Elvis that sang 'I can't help falling in love with you'
Excellent contribution for a "narrative" rebus.
That means it has nothing to do with the "arrangement" of words or phrases but achieves the "rebus" deduction through a short story, anecdote, or riddle.
It is mid-afternoon USA/CST and there are only 16 Brainglers signed on.
There are TWO comments on this TOTD and ZERO comments on the last teaser posted.
As some of you have posted, here, I guess people are "busy" doing other things.
Hmmmm ... that seems to be what we (Dad, my Big Bo, and I) have been saying, all along .....
People seem too "busy" to do Braingle any longer.
And nobody else (here) seems to mind that.
Too bad ... too sad .... but ....
LGM
(still laughable for a VERY good reason !!)

Still a fun teaser.Are you trying to be annoying Lgm?there are good people on this site and you and your kin keep being annoying to the point that no one wants to comment any more. Please use the forum pages for a thread instead of pissing people off.Sorry for the bad language but if you'll print it I'll take the bad karma points.
Very easy but I liked it!
It was fun back then, and it is still a good one today. I still only knew about Gabriel as an angel, but never heard of the other one. Makes no difference, it is still a good teaser.
2 difficulty out of ??? not hard one. clever, not hard
This was the first Rebus of this kind that I've seen on Braingle. It was fun to figure out. Took me awhile, but I finally got it. Looking forward to more like this. I'm not usually good at doing Rebus puzzles.

Oops! Didn't mean to add twice!
Interesting. I'm actually surprised so many people knew this phrase. Are most of the readers here in my *ahem* experienced age group?
I remember the song "Fools Rush in Where Angels Fear to Tread" as recorded by my forever heartthrob, Ricky Nelson. Oh, those dreamy eyes! I still enjoy watching reruns of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet."
I think this was actually a saying before it was in a song! Just clarifying
