Wikipedia: A memento mori (Latin 'remember that you will die is an artistic or symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death. Popular belief says the phrase originated in ancient Rome: as a Roman general was parading through the streets during a victory triumph, standing behind him was his slave, tasked with reminding the general that, although at his peak today, tomorrow he could fall, or "” more likely "” be brought down.
