it's a quote, 's in the dictionary of quotations.

I know that! It's Dante, from from "The Inferno", V, 121. I just thought it was a depressing thing to have in your sig. I prefer "Carpe Diem" - roughly translated on the back of a million Land Rovers as "One Life - Live It".

"fish the day" :-)

I've got that in there too somewhere: "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero"

translated by the book of quotes as "Sieze today, and put as little trust as you can in the morrow". Latin is a nice compact language sometimes.

good o'l Horace, and his Odes.

Actually I rather like "lasciate ogni speranza voi ch' entrate" from dante... Put it on a long bit of paper and stuck it above the door to the school canteen, once, you could see which teachers recognised it :-)
