Can you help me translate this phrase?It's for a tattoo I want to have next week.

Learn from the past
Live for the present
Dream of the future

Thank you very much in advance.

AB PRÆTARITIS DISCE
PRO PRÆSENTIBVS VIVE
DE FVTVRIS SPERA

I don't feel confident about pro praesentibus vivere.

The form ab is, according to L&S, "almost never used before "p, b, f, v".

Perhaps:

E praeteritis disce
In praesentem diem vive
De futuris spera

Learn from the past
Live for the present day
Hope of the future

Indeed, I was wavering between 'pro' and 'in'.
