Vatican Saying 14

14 We have been born once, twice then we will not exist; it was fated for the eon [beyond] that we will no longer be; but you who are not the master-of-tomorrow delay the rejoicing; then a life is consumed by procrastination, and each one of us dies without leisure.9

Γεγόναμεν ἅπαξ· δὶς δὲ οὐκ ἔστι γενέσθαι· δεῖ δὲ τὸν αἰῶνα μηκέτι εἶναι· σὺ δὲ οὐκ ὢν· τῆς αὔριον κύριος
ἀναβάλλῃ τὸ χαῖρον· ὁ δὲ βίος μελλησμῷ παραπόλλυται· καὶ εἷς ἕκαστος ἡμῶν ἀσχολούμενος ἀποθνῄσκει
