I'm going to assume this is a reference to the Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius ("Faster, Higher, Stronger"). This was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the International Olympic Committee, in 1894, but not used until 1924.

Why do English words have Latin roots?

Approximately 2/3 of the English vocabulary comes from Latin, either directly or indirectly. The Latin-derived vocabulary is divided almost evenly between words borrowed from French (a descendant of Latin) after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, and words taken directly from Latin or coined after Latin models. The strong influence of Latin is due to the fact that it remained in use in Europe as a language of religion, science and scholarship until relatively modern times (Newton wrote his scientific works in Latin, and scholarly books were still being published in Latin as recently as the nineteenth century).
