Don't live as though you were going to live ten thousand years. Fate is hanging over your head; while you have life, while you may, become good.

Talmud Bavli – Shabbos 153a
Rabbi Eliezer says: Do teshuvah one day before your death. Rabbi Eliezer’s students asked him: But does a person know the day he will die? He said to them: All the more so, one should do teshuvah today lest he die tomorrow, and thus, one will spend his entire life in teshuvah. And Shlomo also said in his wisdom: “At all times your clothes should be white, and oil shall not be absent from upon your head” (Koheles 9:8).
