>>"Veni, vedi,veci."

As one of the other respondents observed, it's Latin.
Literally it means: I came, I saw, I conquered.

Caesar (Gaius Julius) wrote it in his memoirs of the

meaning "All Gaul [France] is divided into three parts."

That's all I remember from Caesar. I slept through

quote -- should survive even my spelling ...
