Carpe Diem

"Carpe diem", a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace. Popularly translated as "seize the day", although a more literal translation of carpe would be "harvest" ("harvest the day"), as in the harvesting of fruit. Again, popularized by the movie "Dead Poet's Society" in reference to a Walt Whitman poem about Lincoln.

Carpe Diem!

Thanks Wendy.
