Translated "time flies, remember death," the saying "tempus fugit, memento mori" has been used by Christians for centuries as an important reminder that we all will die and there is no surety of when that will happen. Therefore, the phrase reminds us to live with heroic virtue, here and now! There is no other time to make the right choice than in this current moment, and the choice we make in this short life will have everlasting consequences in eternity.
