Memento Mori means “remember that you must die”. That is pretty much the same “you only live once”.

YOLO is a little more... eh.. pro-active? Knowing that you are going to die is not quite the same as saying fuck-all and leaping to a possible death. However, there are multiple contexts for YOLO, so there is that.
