This is probably a little lame since it's so well known... but I really like the phrase Carpe Diem ("seize the day" if you don't know)... it's something everyone can try to do

Also not very creative, but given the limited space, I'd go with "Ciao Bella" (Hello/Goodbye Beautiful - assuming the person in question is a female)

There are some cool ones on this website:

Here are my favs:


beau monde (boh' mond') [Fr.]: high society. “Such elegant decor would impress even the beau monde.”


bon vivant (bon vee-vahnt') [Fr.]: a person who lives luxuriously and enjoys good food and drink. “It's true he's quite the bon vivant, but when he gets down to business he conducts himself like a Spartan.”


glasnost (glaz'nohst) [Rus.]: open and frank discussion: initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985 in the Soviet Union. “Once the old chairman retired, the spirit of glasnost pervaded the department.”


sans souci (sahn soo-see') [Fr.]: carefree. “After serveral glasses of champagne, their mood turned distinctly sans souci.”


Weltschmerz (velt'shmerts) [Ger.]: sorrow over the evils of the world. “His poetry expressed a certain Weltschmerz, or world-weariness.”


Another one I like:


Ecce femina: Latin for "behold the woman"

These are some of my favorite quotes in Latin


Amor est vitae essentia  - Love is the essence of Life


Sic erat in fatis - So it was fated


Cum tacent, clamant - When they remain silent, they cry out


Memento vivere - A reminder of life
