Quintus Horatius Flaccus [December 8, 65 B.C.E.-November 27, 8 B.C.E.] was a leading lyric poet of ancient Rome. He became known to the modern world through the Anglicization of his name as Horace. Among his odes, he penned a famous line that included the phrase 'Carpe diem'. He may not have invented the phrase. But he was the one who ensured the immortality of its use all the way down to the present day.

A famous use of the phrase 'carpe diem' was by the ancient Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus [December 8, 65 B.C.E.* - November 27, 8 B.C.E.]. Horace, as he has become known to English language speakers and readers, included the phrase in his 'Odes'. He ended 'I.II' with 'Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero'. The sentence tends to be translated on the order of 'Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow'.
