Hello nicholas11244-ga,

As noted in the New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition,
2002 (E.D. Hirsch et al., eds.), the Latin for "I came, I saw, I
conquered" is "veni, vidi, vici."  (These were, "according to
Plutarch, the words by which Julius Caesar succinctly described one of
his victories.")

"I came, I saw, I conquered"
