=======================================
Pax Deorum
Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum

Believe that each day which breaks is your last.

=======================================
The object of Roman religion was to secure the cooperation, benevolence, and "peace" of the gods, hence "pax deorum".

This Latin is an exact quote from Horace's Epistles, Book I, Epistle IV, line 13. The whole sentence of which this is part (lines 12-14) reads:
Inter spem curamque, timores inter et iras
omnen crede diem tibi diluxisse supremem:
grata superveniet quae non sperabitur hora.


This means:
Amid the hope and worry, the fear and anger
believe that each day which breaks is your last:
the unhoped for hour will be a welcome surprise.
