Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Live for this life as though you live in it forever and live for the life to come as though you die tomorrow.

'Amr ibn al-'As

Live as though you’ll die tomorrow, but farm as though you’ll live forever.

John Marsden

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Mahatma Gandhi

Learn - improve - grow - live. Learn as if you might live forever and you'll live as if you might die tomorrow.

Contradictory precepts that have guided me for as long as I can remember: 1: I will live forever. 2: I will die tomorrow.

Howard Gardner

If you want to believe in reincarnation, you have to believe that this life, what you're living through right now, is the afterlife. You're missing out on the afterlife you looked forward to in your last existence by worrying about your next life. This is what happens after you die. Take a look.

Brad Warner

Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow.

Maria Mitchell

Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

I think you should enjoy this life that you are given on this earth because we really don't know what it is in the afterlife. We can definitely prove that this life is this life here because we wake up every day and do the same thing that we do. The afterlife I'm not so sure about. So, I don't understand why you'd want to hurt other people in thinking that you'll go on in the afterlife to have bliss. I just don't understand it.

Charlie Benante

Death can come at any moment. You could die this afternoon; you could die tomorrow morning; you could die on your way to work; you could die in your sleep. Most of us try to avoid the sense that death can come at any time, but its timing is unknown to us. Can we live each day as if it were our last? Can we relate to one another as if there were no tomorrow?

Joan Halifax

I'm simply a nonbeliever and have been forever. ... I'm interested in saying, 'Let us discuss the existential question. We are all going to die, that is the end of all consciousness. There is no afterlife. There is no God. Now what do we do.' That's the point where it starts getting interesting to me.

David Cronenberg

Marines die, that's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.

Phil Hartman

Men cannot live forever But they must die forever.

Allen Tate

Men always want to die for something. For someone. I can see the appeal. You do it once and it’s done. No more worrying, not knowing, about tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. I know you all think it sounds brave, but I’ll tell you something even braver. To struggle and fight for the ones you love today. And then do it all over again the next day. Every day. For your whole life. It’s not as romantic, I admit. But it takes a lot of courage to live for someone, too.
