Sic semper tyrannis
Latin phrase
Sic semper tyrannis
Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning 'thus always to tyrants'. In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical governments will inevitably be violently opposed, and eventually toppled. It is the state motto of the U.S. commonwealth of Virginia. The phrase was uttered by John Wilkes Booth after he shot Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Booth wrote in his diary that he shouted this in part because of its association with the assassination of Caesar.
