[Kate Adams]

My Bartlett's Familiar Quotations attributes this quote to  Emiliano Zapata 
(namsake of the Zapatista rebels in Mexico), and it goes something like 
"Men of the South! It is better to die on your feet than to live on your 
knees!"

Whether he borrowed it from a greek philosopher, my Bartlett's Familiar 
Quotations does not say.
