CARPE DIEM

Scito hoc super omnia.

Haec vita est tua una sola.

Dum vita superest,

utere maxime quoque puncto,

momento, et hora quae habes.

Tempus neminem non manet.

Noli manere tempus.

Carpe diem.

"Know this above all else. This is your only life. While life still remains, fully use every point, moment, and hour that you have. Time waits for no man. Don't wait for time. Seize the day." -St. Thomas Acquinas

...!

Ps: Nice story: A young soldier and his commanding officer got on a train together. The only available seats were across from an attractive young woman who was traveling with her grandmother. As they engaged in pleasant conversation, the soldier and the young woman kept eyeing one another; the attraction was obviously mutual. Suddenly the train went into a tunnel and the car became pitch black. Immediately two sounds were heard: the "smack" of a kiss, and the "whack" of a slap across the face. The grandmother thought "I can't believe he kissed my granddaughter, but I'm glad she gave him the slap he deserved." The commanding officer thought, "I don't blame the boy for kissing the girl, but it's a shame that she missed his face and hit me instead." The young girl thought, "I'm glad he kissed me, but I wish my grandmother hadn't slapped him for doing it." And as the train broke into the sunlight, the soldier could not wipe the smile of his face. He had just seized the opportunity to kiss a pretty girl and slap his commanding officer and had gotten away with both! (reference)
