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

Ali ibn Abi Talib

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

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

There’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief: Nothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me. But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow. My pain will die. My laughter won’t last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn’t perfect. And it isn’t. It isn’t perfectly good. But, it also isn’t perfectly bad, either.

Yasmin Mogahed

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

Mahatma Gandhi

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

John Marsden

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

There are two things I know about life... Only the good die young but the real jerks will live forever.

Lewis Black

I will take my leave of you, but I will remember you always because you are the ones who encouraged me and lifted me up high. I will remember you forever, forever, even in the afterlife.

Samia Gamal

It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.

Seneca the Younger

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

Maria Mitchell

You'll live forever in our hearts, big man. That particularly galled me, because it implied the immortality of those left behind: You will live forever in my memory, because I will live forever! I AM YOUR GOD NOW, DEAD BOY! I OWN YOU!

John Green

The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.

J. C. Ryle

The only realities in life are that you are born, and that you die. We always think we are going to live forever. The dying aspect we will never accept. The one thing about having this kind of warning is how you appreciate every single day of life.
