"Festina Lente" (Hasten slowly) Suetonius (c.70-c.140) Augustus, 25

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
