Akavia ben Mahalalel says: Consider three things and you will not come into the grip of sin: Know whence you came, whither you go, and before Whom you are destined to give judgment and accounting.  “Whence you came” —- from a putrid drop; “whither you go” —- to a place of dust, worms, and maggots; and “before Whom you are destined to give judgment and ac-counting” —- before the King Who reigns over kings, the Holy One, Blessed is He.
