What does Non omnis moriar mean?

"Non omnis moriar" is a Latin phrase that means "I shall not wholly die."

It's often interpreted as a statement of immortality, either through the legacy one leaves behind or through a belief in an afterlife.

Here's a breakdown:

* Non: Not

* Omnis: All, whole

* Moriar: I shall die

The phrase is most famously associated with the Roman poet Horace, who included it in his *Odes*. He used it to express his belief that his poetry would outlive him, ensuring his memory and fame even after his death.

It's a powerful statement about the enduring nature of art and the impact humans can have on the world, even after their physical lives are over.
