This is usually attributed to Emiliano Zapata, but sometimes to Aeschylus, who is credited with expressing similar sentiments in Prometheus Bound: "For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life".Aeschylus
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
Emiliano Zapata
I prefer to march on my feet than to live on my knees before a military dictatorship.
Manuel Zelaya
Never give up: There are certain times that you think, “OK, you have beaten me down to my knees. And now the challenge is, I am on my knees and you keep on beating me down. And the question is, are you going to keep beating me all the way to the ground or will I find a way to struggle my way back on to my feet.”
Randy Pausch
