- Redd Foxx

About this Quote

This quote by Redd Foxx is an amusing method of pointing out that no matter how healthy somebody is, they are still vulnerable to disease and death. It implies that those who take extreme measures to stay healthy might be losing their time, as they might still wind up in a hospital bed, dying of an illness or illness. Foxx is suggesting that no matter how much effort somebody puts into remaining healthy, it may not suffice to secure them from the inevitability of death. He is also suggesting that those who take severe steps to remain healthy might look silly in the end, as their efforts may not have actually sufficed to conserve them. Ultimately, Foxx is reminding us that no matter how healthy we are, death is an unavoidable part of life.
