Dum vivimus vivamus

Dum vivimus vivamus is a Latin phrase that means "While we live, let us live." It is often taken to be an declaration.

This Latin phrase was the motto of Philip Doddridge's coat of arms.

It serves as the motto for Porcellian Club at Harvard. Emily Dickinson used the line in a whimsical valentine written to William Howland in 1852 and subsequently published in the Springfield Daily Republican:

Sic transit gloria mundi
 How doth the busy bee,
Dum vivimus vivamus,
 I stay my enemy!

It was also the motto inscribed on the sword of "Oscar" Gordon, the protagonist of Robert Heinlein's 1963 book "Glory Road". And it is the motto of The Knights of Momus, a New Orleans Carnival organization.
