Do codimension 1 subsets of a scheme cover it?

Let $X$ be an irreducible scheme. A point $p\in X$ is said to have codimension $n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}\cup \{\infty\}$ if $\overline{\{p\}}$ has codimension $n$. Is it true that any point of positive codimension lies in the closure of a point of codimension 1?
