As Cives Romani used to say…

Posted on by

Carpe Diem. Seize the day.
                                Horace

History: By Horace, Odes I,11,8, to Leuconoe: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero (“take hold of the day, believing as little as possible in the next”).

Today: Carpe Diem has become an aphorism, next to Tempus fugit it invites to enjoy the moment, because time flies.
