Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.
Stoic philosopher, former slave
This sentiment is more prominently found in Marcus Aurelius's 'Meditations,' though the idea of living virtuously in the face of death is Stoic.
c. 108 AD (approximate)
