I was told by someone at work that a Finnish sentence once won a contest for "world's most beautiful sentence".
The sentence was "Aja hiljaa sillalla" which apparently means "drive quietly on the bridge".
Aside from how cool it would be for there even to be such a contest, I was able to independently verify this little tidbit by finding a similar post on Yahoo! Answers. Therefore, I deem that it must be true.

Hi! Just wanted to give you a translation that makes more sence: "Drive slowly on the bridge." Both translations are correct, though.

Hello. I read that the most beautiful sentence in Finnish was "Alla villa mailla hallan vaara." Meaning: "Risk of frost in low-lying areas."
