| Mar 9, 2022 at 5:07 | comment | added | bobble | My problem with this answer is that if the quote in the question has two ideas - A ("live each day like it's your last") and B ("you'll be right someday") - then the proposed original quote lacks one idea and inserts a different one. It has A and C ("without X etc.") but lacks B, which seems to be a central part of the previous. While quotes can be distorted through word-of-mouth, that's true, this seems an awfully far distance from what's being asked. | |

| Mar 8, 2022 at 5:15 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor♦ | Did he say "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right"? | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 5:15 | comment | added | Mithical♦ | Thanks for the answer! However, this doesn't seem to match the "you'll be right one day" part of the quote. | |
