Sic Semper Tyrannis
Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase attributed to Marcus Iunius Brutus, one of the senarors who assassinated Julius Caesar. It can be translated as "Thus always to tyrants". It is a shortened version of the phrase "Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis" ("Thus always I bring death to tyrants"). It is also featured on the Great Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Additionally this Latin phrase was shouted by John Wilkes Booth as he jumped onto the stage of Ford's theater after shooting President Lincoln in the back of the head and reflects Booth's belief that he was acting against tyranny and avenging the South's cause in the Civil War.
