Quote by Emiliano Zapata

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Summary

This quote reflects the belief that it is preferable to maintain one's dignity and fight for what one believes in, even if it leads to death, rather than live in submission or under oppression. Choosing to stand up for one's principles and face the consequences, rather than compromising or surrendering, is seen as the morally superior option. It encapsulates the idea that a life lived with bravery and resilience is more honorable than a life spent in fear and subjugation.
