Seize the day = Carpe Diem
It is better to be than to pretend = Esse quam similare satius est.
Videri does not carry the connotation of pretending.

"Carpe diem",
and
" Est potior esse quam videri" is a fairly literal translation of your second sentence,
"Mali esse quam videri!" is the imperative "Strive for/ be rather...!"
