Carpe Diem Dont ask, for it is forbidden to know, What end the gods have for me or you. Dont play with Babylonian numerology either. How much better it is to experience whatever will be! Whether Jupiter has allotted to grant you many more winters Or this final one, which even now wears Out the Tyrrhenian sea on the rocks outside your door. Be wise, be truthful, strain the wine, And scale back your long hopes To a short period. While we speak, envious time will have already fled: Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next. Loosely translated from Horace (23 BC) - Odes, Book 1, Number 11
