Prefer death on your feet to living on your knees.
Emiliano Zapata
» Emiliano Zapata - all quotes »
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
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
Emiliano Zapata
Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
Aeschylus
I would rather die having spoken in my manner, than speak in your manner and live. For neither in war nor yet in law ought any man use every way of escaping death. For often in battle there is no doubt that if a man will throw away his arms, and fall on his knees before his pursuers, he may escape death, if a man is willing to say or do anything. The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs deeper than death.
