Believe me, wise men don't say ‘I shall live to do that’, tomorrow's life is too late; live today.
Sera nimis vita est crastina: vive hodie.

Original text (Latin)
Virtue extends our days: he lives two lives who relives his past with pleasure.
The African lions rush to attack bulls; they do not attack butterflies.
A generation which ignores history has no past —and no future.
Nothing is there to come, and nothing past,
But an eternal now does always last.
