Veni, vidi, vlci - Пришел, увидел, победил

Veni, vidi, vici— ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’. The words are said to have been used by Julius Caesar, a famous Roman general, statesm an arid writer. According to Plutarch, it was thus that Julius Caesar announced to one of his friends in Rome the victory over the army of the Bosporus kingdom in Asia Minor in 4 7 B.C. He brought the campaign to such a rapid end that he could sum it up in these simple words. The three Latin words with their equal number of syllables and the recurrence of their consonants, make still more striking the promptitude displayed by Caesar. The words veni, vidi, vici have come down to us as an expression of swift and dramatic success. They are sometimes used ironically to refer to one who boasts of his easy and quick success.
