Fools rush in were angels fear to tread
Prudent or wise people are very careful in their dealing with others. In whatever they say or do, such people think twice before doing something. They won’t jump into anything which endangers their safety. And accordingly, in whatever they say or do, they succeed normally. But foolish people are different. They are hasty in their action.
They won’t think much of the consequences of their actions. Such people
are led by impulses than their thoughts. They don’t realize the dangers
that await them when they take up risky enterprise. Consequently, they
fail in most of the ventures. If somebody challenges a wise person to jump down from the top of a five storied promising to pay him a big sum, he will not do so because he knows he will die. But a fool will most willingly jump from the top, thinking
and gloating over the promised money. He doesn’t think of the
consequences. This is really the difference between a wise men and a
fool. A fool embarks on risky ventures while the wise man refrains from such things.

Every cloud had the silver in it
Thick
and dark clouds sometimes obstruct the sun. When it happens, the
surroundings darken. It is not a pleasant sight. But if we look at the
clouds carefully we can see that their edges are tinted with a silvery
glow. This glow tells us that the sun is somewhere there behind the
clouds. As time
passes, the clouds will move off and the sun will come out of it. This
clever metaphor is used in the proverb to denote that sorrows and
calamities are only momentary. Wherever there is sorrow, happiness will be somewhere nearby. Whenever there is shadow, light should be nearby. And whenever there is darkness, the bright light is near. The proverb teaches us not to lose hope in the hours of darkness and sorrow. It reminds us to be optimistic and hopeful. It tells us not to lose heart because it might be just when we are about to quit that victory reveals itself. Like the silver tint on the edges of the dark cloud,
happiness always lurks behind the darkest hour. ‘The famous poet
Shelley has expressed the idea in one of his poems - ‘The ode to west
wind’ in which asks, ‘if winter comes, can spring be far behind?’
