“Aspire to Inspire before you Expire!”

It is not common or familiar. I've never heard it before.
On checking, I would call it a quotation rather than a saying; it's specially associate with one person.
Thomas Edison supposedly said "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" (that is, it is mostly hard work, not brilliant thought).

Not heard it. That in itself is not indicative.
The Pronoun "I" is a little strange with the imperative.
.
Would maybe expect
Aspire to inspire until you expire.
But the true forms of sayings are often a little strange.
