"Cease to inquire what the future has in store, and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth." Carpe Diem

Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated 'seize the day', taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes (23 BC).[1]

"Carpe is the second-person singular present active imperative of carpō "pick or pluck" used by Horace to mean "enjoy, seize, use, make use of".[2] Diem is the accusative of dies "day". A more literal translation of carpe diem would thus be "pluck the day [as it is ripe]"—that is, enjoy the moment. It has been argued by various authors that this interpretation is closer to Horace's original meaning.[3] Latin scholar and retired Saint Joseph's University professor, Maria S. Marsilio points out that carpe diem is a horticultural metaphor that, particularly seen in the context of the poem, is more accurately translated as "plucking the day", evoking the plucking and gathering of ripening fruits or flowers, enjoying a moment that is rooted in the sensory experience of nature.[4]
