carpe diem, enjoy the day; (common mistranslation) seize the day
köken: From the end of the poem Odes I.11 by Horace, ancient Roman poet. :Sapiās, vīna liquēs, et spatio brevī :spem longam resecēs. Dum loquimur, fūgerit invidā :aetās. Carpe diem quam minimum crēdula posterō. :Be wise, make wine, and in a short time, :lose any great hope. As we speak, time is cruelly slipping away. :Enjoy the day, believing the least in the future.
