Lil Wayne on the Bible: Lil Wayne talks about his reading material in prison

"You have to understand. I work for the rights of the dead, not the Selangor government. My objective is to help the dead," -- Thai forensic expert Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand
Dr Pornthip, the director of the Central Institute of Forensic Science in the Ministry of Justice in Bangkok, said this on Wednesday 18 August 2010 during the inquest into the mysterious death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock, in an elegant curt reply when lawyers for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) tried to discredit her in court, suggesting that her testimony was biased because she was hired by the Selangor state government to examine Beng Hock’s corpse.

Carpe diem and other "seize the day" sayings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace. It is popularly translated as "seize the day". The general definition of carpe is "pick, pluck, pluck off, gather" as in plucking or picking a rose or apple, although Horace uses the word in the sense of "enjoy, make use of, seize."

"Carpe diem! Seize the day, boys! Make your lives extraordinary!" was used in the hit movie Dead Poets Society by Robin Williams's character, a film that explores the idea of carpe diem from the viewpoint of a classroom of young men at an all-boys boarding school, and is ranked #95 in AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes.

The Bible also says, "Redeeming the time because the days are evil." Other sayings related to Carpe diem - "Time and tide wait for no man", "Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die"

One of us replied, 'No, he is not credible.'
