Quote by Edward Young

Men may live fools, but fools they cannot die.


Men may live fools, but fools they cannot die.

Summary

This quote suggests that although people may live their lives foolishly, making mistakes and poor decisions, they will not ultimately face the consequences of their foolishness in death. It implies that death is a leveler; it does not discriminate between the wise and the foolish. Therefore, no matter how foolishly one may have lived, death equalizes everyone by taking away any distinction or judgment based on their previous actions or behavior.
