Call it immoral, if you will, and I shall not lift the gauntlet. Why should we quarrel over phrases when it is only required to return thanks to the good Dr. Magnus for his beneficent discovery? That is enough for me at least. Carpe diem, or, more precisely, noctem. It was Dr.
Is it not agreeable to thee?" "It was my own wish, my own request," replied Otto. "I have not remarked what expressions I have employed." He remained silent. Wilhelm himself seemed occupied with unusual thoughts, when he suddenly exclaimed: "Life is, after all, a gift of blessings! One should never make one's self sorrows which do not really exist! 'Carpe diem, said old Horace."
The kind you all picked for me coming up from Fort William. And do you know, Rufus, I never could thank you all? Were those Carpe Diem flowers?" "No not exactly the kind Father Holland means we should pick." "What then?" and she turned suddenly to find her face not a hand's length from mine.
For before he attempted the same it was a matter doubtfull and reported the extremest lymit of danger to sayle vpon those coastes. So that it was generally in dread among vs, such is the slownes of our nation, for the most part of vs rather ioy at home like Epicures to sit and carpe at other mens hassardes, our selues not daring to giue any attempt.
No man who has ever written has so cunningly mingled joy-bells and death-bells in his music. Here is a realism of damned souls damned in their merry sins at which the writer of Ecclesiastes merely seems to hint like a detached philosopher. Villon may never have achieved the last faith of the penitent thief. But he was a penitent thief at least in his disillusion. If he continues to sing Carpe diem when at the age of thirty he is already an old, diseased man, he sings it almost with a sneer of hatred. It is from the lips of a grinning death's-head not of a jovial roysterer, as Henley makes it seem in his slang translation that the Ballade de bonne Doctrine
Two hundred years hence, I say, the Victorian era time of blessed peace and unexampled prosperity will be pronounced by all unprejudiced judges as the true days of merrie England.

Carpe diem should be our motto in these fleeting times, and, above all, progress, not retrogression.
My heart will go forth from Sienna as free as it came, for I have no hope of victory, and defeat would make me wretched." "Is it possible that you are amongst the despairing?" "Yes, and to that fact I owe my happiness." "It would be a pity for you if you found yourself mistaken." "Not such a pity as you may think, Madam. 'Carpe diem' is my motto.

It is the carpe diem religion; but the carpe diem religion is not the religion of happy people, but of very unhappy people. Great joy does, not gather the rosebuds while it may; its eyes are fixed on the immortal rose which Dante saw.
This is by much the best way to butter pease, and not to let the butter melt in the middle of them, and then stir them long with a spoon. You may make sauce for a Pike in the same manner you did for a Carpe; putting Horse-radish to it if you please. Put great store of sliced Onions, with Currants and Raisins of the Sun both above and under the Herrings, and store of Butter, and so bake them.
He had entered it on account of the Carpe horas, and had returned thither on account of the Carpes au gras. There they drank, there they ate, there they shouted; they did not pay much, they paid badly, they did not pay at all, but they were always welcome. Father Hucheloup was a jovial host.
