Hard work never killed anyone, but why take a chance?

Ah, that’s a classic witty saying! It plays on the idea that hard work is generally good and won’t harm you, but humorously questions why risk it anyway—implying it might be safer to avoid hard work. It’s a clever way to poke fun at laziness or the human tendency to avoid effort when possible, all while acknowledging that working hard is usually fine. A cheeky reminder not to take life too seriously!
