Lots of people blew parts of this answer. First, it is Latin -- as most guessed correctly. Second, its source is a poem by Horace -- not just something Romans said all the time or a slogan of the army. Third, it does not mean "seize" the day, though many semi-literate people believe so. That would be I think "prehende diem" or "capte diem"; "carpe diem" means "pluck the day" as though it were a flower or piece of fruit.

"A Latin phrase which translated means 'Seize (Catch) the day,' meaning 'Make the most of today.' The phrase originated as the title of a poem by the Roman Horace (65 BCE-8 BCE) and caught on as a theme with such English poets as Robert Herrick and Andrew Marvell" (Littauer).

Latin -- "seize the day". It means, if there's something you want to do, do it today! Don't keep thinking, "Yeah, I'll do that ... someday..."
Today is the day you've dreamed of all your life!
