MOLESKIN

In “Dead Poets Society” Robin Williams gave his students an obscure Latin phrase “Carpe Diem” – Seize the day!

Ecclesiastes 9:7-10

7 Seize life! Eat bread with gusto, Drink wine with a robust heart. Oh yes – God takes pleasure in your pleasure!
8Dress festively every morning. Don’t skimp on colors and scarves.
9 Relish life with the spouse you love Each and every day of your precarious life. Each day is God’s gift. It’s all you get in exchange For the hard work of staying alive. Make the most of each one!
10 Whatever turns up, grab it and do it. And heartily! This is your last and only chance at it, For there’s neither work to do nor thoughts to think In the company of the dead, where you’re most certainly headed.
