Your Favorite Roman Latin Quotes Maxims Mottos Sayings ?
#9
That takes my mind in two directions. The former, the proper Descartes quote, reminds me of Ambrose Bierce's cynical play on such philosophy. Stating the we can't be sure of anything, he rendered it as: "Cogito cogito, ergo cogito sum," "I think that I think, therefore I think that I am."

Your second quote reminded me of a play on Caesar's words found in a far less reputable source: "Vedi, vici, veni." I'm sure you can translate it.
