I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.
— Emiliano Zapata
The most gorgeous Emiliano Zapata quotes that are little-known but priceless
I want to die a slave to principles. Not to men.
The enemies of the country and of freedom of the people have always denounced as bandits those who sacrifice themselves for the noble causes of the people.
I forgive those who murder and steal because they did it out of necessity, but a traitor never.

If there is no justice for the people, there be no peace for the government.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
One of the happiest days of my life is when I made five or six hundred pesos from a crop of watermelons I raise all on my own.
The land belongs to those who work it with their hands.

Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.
We do not want the peace of slaves nor the peace of the grave.
The land belongs to the people who work it.
If there is no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government.

Better to die on ones feet than to live on ones knees.
The land free, the land free for all, land without overseers and without masters.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
Seek justice from tyrannical governments not with your hat in your hands but with a rifle in your fist.
