As with many common English idioms, this comes from the Christian Bible. "All flesh is grass" is a direct quote from the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 40, verse 6.
It is a poetic way of saying that human life is short and fragile, like grass that is green and flourishing during the spring rains, but which quickly withers and browns in the hot dry summer. Isaiah is contrasting mankind with the unchanging, living God who judges us.
The popularity of this phrase is most likely due to the fact that the same metaphors is repeated many places in The Bible: Isaiah 40:6-8; Psalm 37:1-2, 90:5-7, 92:7-8, 102:4,11, 103:14-16; James 1:10-11; 1st Peter 1:24
