C’est D’ieu qui mesure le temps de votre vie. (French)

You do not know what will happen during the year;
It is G-d who mesures the length of your life. (English)
The Meaning:
Tomorrow is a day G-d only knows about. You could accumulate things as much as you want and still die unexpectedly. Papa Tshimanga gives the example of a man who planned and accumulated possessions for years to come. He died in his sleep one night and never got to use his wealth.
