Expansion of ideas - Fools rush in where angels fear to trade.



Fools Rush In Where 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 in risky ventures while the wise man refrains from such things. 

Expansion of ideas -BEAUTY IS TRUTH. TRUTH IS BEAUTY

BEAUTY IS TRUTHTRUTH IS BEAUTY.

 That is all you know on earth and all you need to know. From this statement Keats tells that the real beauty is truth and nothing more andtruth alone is the beautiful one.
This philosophical statement means that the real beauty of a thing lies on its permanence and that there is only one ultimate beauty in this world is truth which never perishes. The remaining, though they seem to be beautiful, is not really beautiful as they are perishable.

This statement is found in the poem - Ode one a Grecian Urn - written by John Keats. He sees two pictures on the two sides of an urn. On one side there are young lovers and musicians and on the other side a number of pious people go to make a sacrifice at a green alter. In the end of the poem, Keats says that the Urn gives this message to humanity - BEAUTY IS TRUTH. TRUTH IS BEAUTY. That is all you know on earth and all you need to know. From this statement Keats tells that the real beauty is truth and nothing more and truth alone is the beautiful one. The beautiful objects that we consider so of this world such as flowers are not really beautiful. Even the works of art, though they seem to be imperishable become perishable later or sooner and so they are not really beautiful. So, the ever-remaining truth alone is the real beauty and the others may change and pass. So we should pay more attention to the core beauty rather than to physical beauty. 

Expansion of ideas - 'If winter comes can spring be far behind'

The quotation describes the seasonal cycle that after winter spring is so near, same is the cycle in man’s life the sorrows and sufferings are followed by happiness and comfort.
In the proverb, the winter season that is dark and tough is symbolised by the trial times. But spring that is bright and colourful season, is symbolized by happiness. Life of any person never remains the same. It is a blend of sufferings and joys. They always go side by side. It can be said that joys and sorrows are spice of life if they are separated life would be tasteless. So man should not lose heart in some hard times.
What holds true for an individual also stands for nation. Nation cannot be built in a day. It takes a long time for a nation to come out of its crisis and become a civilized or developed. The proverb is very right in conditions of Pakistan. The country presently is mired in multi-facet crisis and masses have got panic for its progress. Hence, the need of the hour is patience and perseverance. One should not lose hope, rather he must play his part for the peace and progress of the country. One day our nation will cope successfully with these problems. And it will soon regain its lost prestige among fellow nations. And its citizen will lead a peaceful and prosperous life.
So the lesson of proverb is one should not lose hope in his trial times rather he should struggle for better future and remain positive in such conditions. It is a principle of nature that time never remains same. It is a promise of nature that after every dark and cold times there would be bright and colourful spring
