Best Answer

The first person credited with the phrase, translated fron the Latin "carpe diem," was the early Roman poet Horace (65 BC-8 BC).

The phrase has recently become associated with John Keating, the character portrayed by Robin Williams in the 1989 drama "Dead Poets Society." Keating, an English teacher at a Vermont boys' prep school in the 1950s, challenges his students to enjoy their lives. "Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys," Keating says. "Make your lives extraordinary."

Seize the Day is performed by the band Avenged Sevenfold, but their bassist, Johnny Christ, sings it. He is the higher pitched singer you hear throughout their songs.
