Do any of you know Latin?

I need to know how to say "Live for today, Not for Tomorrow" in Latin. I'll love you forever if you can translate it for me. I'm pretty sure Live for today is "Vive Hodie" but I don't know the rest of it. Thanks in advance.

    Seems that the "hodie" part is correct then. I honestly have no idea :D
    Tried using a translator?

    I was going to but translators tend to do literal translations and fuck it up, I want to get this as a tattoo and I'd prefer to not fuck it up :)

    I don't know Latin, but here's advice for tattoos in foreign languages: Hope nobody understands the language either :p

    Vive Hodie literally means "Live Today."


    "Ago pro hodie , Non pro Cras"


    Means: "Live for today, not for tomorrow."

    Vive in Diem is the best way to say live for today in latin or you could also say Carpe Diem which means seize the day.

    Idk how to say not for tomorrow though :confused: i'm only in my first year of Latin so i haven't learned all that much just yet but i'll keep looking it up.
    Ask your Latin teacher how to say it :P

    I wish I could translate it, Latin is really a fantastic language. If only it were still spoken natively today. There are many fluent in Latin, but I wish Latin could be alive again, spoken by many and used in everyday life.

    Classics professors speak it when they get together at international conferences.

    I remember seeing an episode of lost where two prisoners would converse in latin and the captures couldn't translate - since then I've wanted to learn :facepalm:

    In the Latin I learned at school "Hodae or Hodi" means "Now" The immediate time.
    Perhaps the language has changed over time.:cool:
