memento mori vivere coaster Memento mori Memento Vivere is a Latin phrase meaning "remember you must die" and Carpe diem, a phrase that comes from the Roman poet Horace, means literally "Pluck the day", though it's usually translated as "Seize the day" The basic idea of this philosophy is that if people remember their inescapable deaths, they will lead more sober lives, live in the present, and take advantage of opportunities rather than postpone them 'til “tomorrow.” All of which are mostly good things.
