a.d. VI Id. Iun.

MEMORĀBILE DICTŪ

Carpe diem!
“Seize the day!” (Horace, Odes, 1.11.8.)

This phrase has become the byword for those who want to savor and treasure every moment in life, which is what Horace recommends in this poem, after stressing the uncertainty of the future.

From Latin for the New Millennium
