"Carpe diem is failing on people."

This is quite funny when you think that "Carpe Diem" originally means literally the opposite of what people use it for nowadays.

The original quote is "carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero" i.e. "Seize the day, put very little trust in tomorrow (the future)". Meaning that one should do everything today to ensure a good future and be prepared.
