Ullum temporis momentum extremum nostrum sit; omnia pulchriora sunt quod fatales sumus. Explanation: 'Sit' is here potential subjunctive. For 'temporis momentum' ('moment of time') one may substitute 'temporis punctum' ('point of time'). In judicial contexts one may use 'damnamur' or 'condemnamur' for 'we are doomed' (lit., 'we are sentenced/convicted'), but in non-judicial contexts one would use 'fatalis' (appropriately inflected) and the present indicative of 'esse' (i.e., 'sumus'). |
