By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
A frase aparece ainda nos escritos no ocultista britânico Aleister Crowley. Em The Vision and the Voice ("The Cry of the 4th Aethyr", datado de 16 de Dezembro de 1909) Crowley escreve "his name shall be called Vir [homem], and Vis [poder], and Virus [veneno], and Virtus [masculinidade/humanidade], and Viridis [verde], in one name that is all these, and above all these." Numa nota de rodapé isto é camuflado como "Vi Veri Universum Vivus Vici, the motto of the Seer as Magister Templi".
