Thanks to all the good ideas on how to say....no....indicate "Seize the Moment" in Latin.

I thought I'd share on with you which has a bit of a historical thought.  I found it interesting, & maybe some of you will.  Despite what it says, I plan to use the ideas that others of you sent.

Dear Mary,
It's just a guess, but I wouldn't think the Romans had such a concept as
"moment."  I know it's not just a short space of time, it's more than that,
but it starts with a sense of time.  Wouldn't that have been a tall order
in the era before clocks?  
One of the most interesting lectures I heard in graduate school was the
introduction of industrial time.  Before that, it was pretty much night
and day, work days and holy days.  Well, there was matins.....  but it
took a lot to whip folks up in the a.m. to get to the factory door "on time."
