The most famous one is "veni, vidi, vici." It is usually translated as "I came. I saw, I conquered." However, it actually means "I came, I saw, I won." Caesar said it when he won a lighting victory against the king of Pontus (in northwestern Turkey). Casar was in Egypt when this king defeated Roman troops in what is now Turkey. With a forced march he reached the area incredibly fast and then won a quick battle. This sentence was meant to be sarcastic to Pompey the Great, who, prior to Caesar's military successes, was considered to be Rome's Greatest general, and whom Caesar had just defeated. Veni vidi vici was displayed on several signs during the parade for Caesar's triumph (victory celebrations) in Rome.
