The first sentence means that you should savor and experience each day as if it were your last day by living it to the fullest.
The second sentence means that you should equip yourself with all the tools of life - all that you can learn - as if you needed them for a lifetime and not just to get you through your school years or some other short term goal. Learn more of what there is to learn and don't set an age where you would ever stop learning. You are never too old to learn more.

Both are two great sentences
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. It means, make the best use of your life today. Enjoy it. Help others because that is what is going to matter.
Learn as if you were to live forever. It means, you need to be continuous learner. No matter your age, you should not give up learning. You must learn a thing of two everytime because knowledge is unlimited.

The quote is quite simple.The first line means that u should live life to its fullest thinking that there was no tomorrow.all the tasks you have set for yourself must be completed today .The hard work for the goals you have set and the dreams that you have seen must start from today.
The second line means that there is no age for learning. process of learning must not stop with age.u should be open to any kind of knowledgeable thing coming ur way thinking that it is going to be helpful to u in some way or the other and remember learning doesn't cost a thing!

It is obvious. Live as if your time was almost up -- do everythng you want to do but do it morally because you will soon have to answer for your actions. Keep learning throughout your life. Learning should never end.

I think mr Gandhi and I would live happily together and agree on a lot of things,even though we are different faiths, the truth sits easy on the few while the majority reek havoc.

None of us knows when we are going to die, so be prepared in case you die young (fulfill you dreams while you can); and also prepare to live till your eighty(learn your lessons or your long life with be filled with repeating your mistakes).

It means that in our life every second counts, and we should live every second because we never know what can happen tomorrow, as far as learning we should never stop learning, learn as much as you can and pretend you will always live................

It is actually, "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." It is a quote from James Dean.

enjoy life and don't leave anything you would like to do, or try out, educate yourself thru out your whole life "never to old to learn" and with all that you will keep yourself, there is always something new to learn
