A Stock Phrase that acknowledges our own mortality. Good guys, bad guys, and everybody in between will one day 'have to' recognize that, according to statistics at the least, none of us will live forever — at this level of reality, at least. Even those who do may have pangs of regret because of this trope. If villains say this line, it could be their reason for their disregard of life in general. If it's a hero, expect them to be the more cynical, disillusioned type. If either of them are the Anti-Nihilist, then the phrase becomes more optimistic, i.e. "we all die someday, so be awesome today!" Depending on where we fall on the sliding scale, we may get a "but not today" rebuttal, or a "but not forever" rebuttal for works that hold to the existence of an afterlife. It may also teach someone that All Are Equal in Death: no matter our stations or accomplishments or privileges in life, we are all equally mortal so we all might as well be treated equally. This is closely connected to the concept of a "Memento Mori" (Gratuitous Latin for, "Remember you must die" or, more literally, "Remember death"). These are symbolic reminders of mortality, the idea being that there's a certain spiritual value in occasionally reflecting on the impermanence of life. They occur in many traditions, religious and otherwise. It can be as subtle as a Skeleton Motif or coffin or gravestone being included in a piece of art, all the way up to elaborate cultural festivals such as DÃa de los Muertos or All Hallows' Eve. Probably the most famous such icon is The Grim Reaper. Death's Hourglass may also serve to remind people that their time here is finite. Truth in Television by current medical standards. Make the most of it. Sister Trope to The Problem with Fighting Death: even if someone succeeds in outsmarting the Reaper today, they'll still have a final appointment with him eventually, and this time he'll be annoyed. See also We Are as Mayflies, Don't Fear the Reaper, Not Afraid to Die, Life Will Kill You, and Mono no Aware. Compare Who Wants to Live Forever? and You Can't Fight Fate. Contrast Living Forever Is Awesome and Immortality Seeker. A work may invoke this trope in a Deadly Distant Finale. One Stock Joke referencing this trope is The Three Certainties in Life. Do not confuse with Anyone Can Die, or "Everybody Dies" Ending. |

In X-Men, during the classic Brood arc in the early '80s, after the X-Men were facing certain death from being infested with Brood eggs, Colossus tried to console Kitty after a nightmare, and makes a similar speech, at one point reminding Kitty, "We are all dying from the moment we are born, indeed from the moment of our conception...

When Marcus asks if they're all marked for death, Moon admits that they are — whoever survives, s/he'll be disposed of at some point down the line as well, including Moon himself, so why not go out in style? | |

This comes up in various ways in Death Parade, as expected for a show that takes place in an Afterlife Antechamber. The beings who judge the deceased will often make blasé statements about the inevitability of death and the “irrational� ways humans react to it. Most notably however, this quote by the main character in the penultimate episode puts a much more optimistic twist on this idea when he explains his interpretation of the Memento Mori translation mentioned above: | |

Full House: The Season 7 episode "The Last Dance" has this as one of the aesops for Michelle; Jesse is also reminded of this. This, after Jesse's grandfather, Iorgos "Papouli" Katsopolis (Jack Kruschen), dies in the guest room while in San Francisco to visit Jesse and the Tanners. Michelle is in strong denial, and Jesse helps her cope by not only (gently) reinforcing the trope, but that they have many good memories to reflect on. | |

Lamar is aware of this, but seems resigned to this lifestyle and sees nothing wrong - If people want to come after him, that's fine - it's the way the game of life is played and he isn't going to lose sleep over it. | |

This is a common refrain on the show Vikings, somewhat unsurprisingly considering that nearly all the main characters are, well, vikings. In the show's first massed battle, The Lancer/The Dragon Rollo speaks a war chant that concludes with this, which is cheerfully taken up by some of the other combatants as well. | |

Harry Potter's ability to acknowledge this is what often gives him the advantage in his confrontations against Voldemort. J. K. Rowling has even said that the inevitability of death and the need for individuals to accept this fact is the Central Theme of the entire series. This was directly addressed in the final book, where it is the moral of "The Tale of the Three Brothers", the story from which the legend of the titular Deathly Hallows come from. | |

During a conversation with Rincewind in The Last Continent, Death observes that Rincewind will certainly die, which Rincewind initially interprets as Death meaning Rincewind will be executed tomorrow, but Death later clarifies that he just meant that everyone dies eventually and he's actually looking forward to observing Rincewind's escape from the cell he's currently in. | |

Dilbert: Played for Laughs in this strip. The only accurate prediction a would-be swami can offer is that "eventually, you will die...". In this strip, Ratbert attempts to spread some cheer by telling Dilbert, "You're working hard. I'm doing nothing. In a hundred years we'll both be dead." Dilbert counters, "You might not need to wait that long." |

Discworld: It is repeatedly stated that eventually, Death will meet everyone. Particularly, this exchange between Vimes and Lu Tze in Night Watch. Leads to a No Sympathy moment from the sweeper. In Lords and Ladies between Ponder Stibbons and the Librarian: In Eric, a demon travels to the end of the universe and speaks to Death. During a conversation with Rincewind in The Last Continent, Death observes that Rincewind will certainly die, which Rincewind initially interprets as Death meaning Rincewind will be executed tomorrow, but Death later clarifies that he just meant that everyone dies eventually and he's actually looking forward to observing Rincewind's escape from the cell he's currently in. And even more directly, in Carpe Jugulum: Delves into Arc Words in Small Gods In Hogfather, Susan tries to scare off Teatime with the threat of her grandfather coming after him. Teatime points out that everyone encounters Death eventually. In Reaper Man, Death himself experiences what it is like to know the sand in your lifetimer is limited. Most of the other characters in the book also come to terms with mortality in various ways, expressed perhaps most memorably in one of Reg Shoe's Zombie Advocate propaganda slogans: |

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward also repeatedly invokes the phrase memento mori, if only so the player doesn't forget that the characters' lives and deaths will depend on how the player reacts to a series of Sadistic Choices. VLR also features the similar phrase tu fui ego eris on a gravestone, translated to what I was, you are, what I am, you will be, essentially meaning I am dead, but was once alive, you are alive, but will die someday. |

Confessions: Looking beyond humanity, Augustine argues that worshipping or loving anything in the place of God is futile, since all things in life are finite and passing parts of the larger whole. To center life around any finite thing would be like stopping someone from finishing their sentence just to hear one random syllable spoken: the part loses its meaning if it isn't part of the whole. | |

The manga Akagi is a prequel to, Ten - The Blessed Way of the Nice Guy, shows that Akagi holds to this decades later. When faced with a terminal illness, Akagi meets the people closest to him one last time, ensuring they all find closure, and then ends his own life with no worries or regrets. He knew death would come at some point, and when the time came, met it on his own terms. | |

Wynne, the elderly Enchanter in Dragon Age: Origins (and the oldest member of your Player Party, except the golem Shale), is very acutely aware of her own mortality... and embraces it. It doesn't mean that she will just drop dead on you anytime soon, however. It is much later revealed that she is practically Living on Borrowed Time, having already effectively died long ago but kept alive via a benevolent case of Demonic Possession. | |

Eventually turns out to be the central theme of Chrono Crusade. No matter what, your death will come, whether you are prepared for it or not. By the end, all the major characters besides Satella, Fiore, and Shader are long dead, and the former two only got lucky because Shader found their crystallized bodies and broke them out 75 years later; eventually, they will die too, and Satella wants to make the most of the life she has. | |

Puss ignores him at first, but a near-death experience forces him to recognize his own mortality. He seeks out the Wishing Star to wish for more lives so he can cheat death once again. By the end, he gains a strong respect for his final life and, in the face of Death himself, he vows to never stop fighting for it. | |

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: Thranduil performs the villainous version when Tauriel confronts him for trying to leave the dwarves and Lakemen to be slaughtered whilst he withdraws his own army to avoid further bloodshed, dismissing Tauriel's disgust by asking what does it matter how or when mortals die. | |

To Hell and Back (Arrowverse): This is the explicit reason Barry gives to Eobard when refusing his offer to go back in time and save his mother. Having lost other loved ones in the forms of Shado and, at one point, Slade, and then forced to join the League of Assassins alongside Oliver and Kara, Barry is far more familiar with death than he is in canon, having long since accepted it as another facet of life. As Barry explicitly points out, preventing Nora's murder would change nothing in the long run; she would still die, just later than she originally did, either by old age or disease or even an accident. All he would be getting by stopping past!Eobard is more time with her — and as much as he would like that, he won't have it at the risk of everything he still has and has gained since then. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The equivalent to the Latin Memento mori is the Valyrian saying Valar morghulis, meaning "All men must die". The traditional reply, by the way, is Valar Dohaeris ("All men must serve"). Syrio has his own motto which also invokes this trope more passively: "There is only one god, and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: Not today." |

Used rather frighteningly in Planescape: Torment by Coaxmetal, the massive Iron Golem in the siege tower. He's the Ultimate Blacksmith who forges weapons for the forces of entropy to unmake reality, and he does it because otherwise order might chain down reality until it cannot be destroyed; and when something's made unkillable, it "merely dies a different death". | |

Used in Doctor Who, and sometimes subverted with the "not today" response. "The End of the World": "Tooth and Claw": Queen Victoria mentions the legend that anyone who possesses the Koh-i-Noor diamond must surely die. The Tenth Doctor points out that's true of anything if you take a long enough view. "Forest of the Dead": "The End of Time": The Tenth Doctor tells Wilf he is going to die. Wilf points out that so is he, someday, to which the Doctor replies "Don't you dare!" "A Christmas Carol": "The Impossible Astronaut": River and the Ponds have just seen the Doctor appear to die. While they discuss it in the (past Doctor's) TARDIS, Amy says "He's still going to die." River replies with "We're all going to do that." Rory adds that "We're not all going to arrange our own wake and invite ourselves." In the prologue to the premiere of Series 9, Ohila warns the Twelfth Doctor that fulfilling an old, old enemy's request for a meeting will result in his destruction. He is ready to die for good though — entrusting his last will and testament to her, to be sent to another — and replies "You could say the same of being born." "Hell Bent": Clara says to Ashildr: "We all face the Raven in the end. That is the deal," protesting that she isn't scared of death. "The Ghost Monument": Yaz asks the Doctor if they're going to die. The Doctor says they all are, someday, but not today. "Not if I've got anything to do with it." |

Sharpe: In Sharpe's Sword, Patrick Harper is wounded in battle and asks the priest if he is going to die. The Priest says yes; he is, and Harper says that he wishes he had married his long-term partner Ramona with whom he has a child out of wedlock. The Priest then does the quick version of wedding vows with Harper lying on the ground (do you? do you? you're married) and then tells Harper to stand up and kiss the bride. When Harper says he thought he was going to die, the priest responds: | |

Discussed by Akagi's titular character in the manga's final dialogue. Akagi recognizes that he's lived as long as he has mostly by being incredibly lucky and that anyone could die an undignified and unpredictable death pretty much at any moment. This is why his personal philosophy is that Living Is More than Surviving; if death is inevitable and unpredictable, making the most of what you call your 'life' is paramount even if it might lead to that life being shortened. The manga Akagi is a prequel to, Ten - The Blessed Way of the Nice Guy, shows that Akagi holds to this decades later. When faced with a terminal illness, Akagi meets the people closest to him one last time, ensuring they all find closure, and then ends his own life with no worries or regrets. He knew death would come at some point, and when the time came, met it on his own terms. |

In Coco, Hector nonchalantly says that everyone ends up Deader than Dead eventually. People are only able to live in the afterlife if they are remembered and their legend is passed on by those who knew them in life. Sooner or later, however, everyone gets forgotten and thus disappearing is inevitable. | |

In a specific week in Long Live the Queen, Elodie is advised by her father Joslyn that a keythong, a golden cat-like beast with spikes and a beak, has been sighted outside of the Old Forest and that the disappearance of several subjects from his duchy are thought to have been related to its presence. Elodie's suggestion to send hunters after it is essentially met with this trope, which will always increase Elodie's 'Depressed' mood by one stage. A surprisingly harsh response on his part, considering how recently Queen Fidelia (his wife and her mother) had died... | |

Picard wants him to tell him what the future says happened, but he's reluctant. But probably not for the reason he claims to be, as it later turns out. In "Tapestry", Q offers Picard a chance to avoid the incident that got him stabbed through the heart, which was replaced with an artificial one that is now failing: |
