  1. Literally translated, carpe means pick, pluck, gather, but as used by Horace, it meant "seize the day."


  2. Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace. It is popularly translated from the movie Dead Poets Society as "seize the day". The general definition of carpe is "pick, pluck, pluck off, gather" as in plucking or picking a rose or apple, although Horace uses the word in the sense of "enjoy, make use of, seize."[1]

  3. Get a dragon, tiger or other cool graphic image this way you won't make a mistake

    it means pick the day and seize the day - look up carpe diem on wikipedia for an explanation.
