"If there is a road to heaven, you don't take it; if there is no door to hell, you throw yourself into it." This is the entire sentence.

This sentence means asking for trouble.

The applicable context is often what bad people say to good people when they do bad things and do not want to be stopped by good people. At this time, good people are usually trapped in the prison of bad people. This is a classic plot in TV dramas.

There is no detailed record in formal historical books, but it is a common saying among the people.

The formation of proverbs

Spoken proverbs are one of the idioms, which refer to sentences that are conventional, widely popular, and have concise images. From a broad perspective, colloquialisms include proverbs, idioms (quotations), idiomatic expressions and commonly used spoken idioms, but do not include dialect words, colloquial words, idioms in written language, or famous aphorisms in famous books.

In a narrow sense, colloquialism is one of the genres with its own characteristics, which is different from proverbs and idioms, but some colloquialisms are somewhere in between. Common sayings come from a wide range of sources, not only from the oral creations of the people, but also related to famous poems, aphorisms, historical allusions, etc.
