My friend told me that Imam Ali said: live for your life like you will live forever and live for your after life like you will die tomorrow
Rendered elsewhere as: Work for your life as if you will live forever, and work for your after-life as if you will die tomorrow.
And here:
Plan your life like you will live forever, but live your life like you will die tomorrow.
Reference: Imam Ali (R)
Also attributed to his son Imam Hasan (probably in error):
A famous saying of Imam Hasan is “ In regard to the world be as if you were going to live forever. With respect to the Hereafter, be as if you were going to die tomorrow.”
Anyway, you get the point!
