I just spent the last few minutes googling the Latin.
Badass.
It's a good idea to remember how that worked out in the end. Killing a tyrant doesn't mean you won't end up with an even worse tyrant once the civl war is over.
Hence "Thus ALWAYS to tyrants."
Ha! I just got finished reading Cicero a couple of nights ago.
As Cicero said, they should have finished off Antony. And they should have finished off Octavianus (The boy Caesar who finished of Antony).
Let this be a lesson! When your Republic becomes a democracy ... tyrants bloom.
