I had posted, asking for the source of the saying that a person dies when he uses up all his words or when he runs out of steps.
Since so many of you asked for the response, this is what I received - It is found in Sefer Chasidim, the edition published by Mossad HaRav Kook, paragraph 162. Also in the Mekitzai Nirdamim edition, page 13. Additionally, as some of you mentioned, there is a mention of using up one's allotment of words in one's lifetime in the short story "Tehilla" by S.Y. Agnon.
