"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees" is a very popular quote that motivates people to keep working to find success rather than seeking empathy. This is similar to the other quote which states you should get rich or die trying.

What was the last Indian civilization to be conquered?

They were not conquered, and still remain unconquered - to put it as many others have: "I would rather die on my feet, as to live on my knees" (that saying goes for me as well). Many Native American groups, still today, are fighting the USA through its own court system, as well as attempting to find sponsorship to the UN Court against the USA (Treaty violations / violations of Montevideo Convention / violations of Genocide Convention) - See A.I.M. (American Indian Movement).


How do you write 'Id rather die like a man than live like a coward' in Latinas i am getting this tattoed?

For heaven's sake, pick better writing to be stuck with for the rest of your life. Something like: I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees. Or how about What Fools These Mortals Be. Remember, a tattoo is a dead giveaway for anyone who is trying to lie low, and it will be astoundingly and indelibly ugly when you're sixty years old.

Basically it means that it is better to die free and with dignity than to live as a slave and under oppression-whether it be an overbearing government or church, some international organization, or basically any kind of oppression.


It's better to die on your feet then to live on your knees?

It simply means that it is better to die on your feet as a human being with dignity than to live comfortably as a slave. For example, an oppressive government will put people in the frame of mind that it would be better to be shot fighting back to retain their dignity and rights, than to submit and allow those rights to be taken away and live.
