A2K to George...

(he'll be by in a bit)

Welcome to A2K

I'd suggest:
Alter alteri facti sumus

I think you mentioned elsewhere that this is for an engraving.
If so, please have it reviewed by someone else.
I'm not a professional Latin scholar, just a guy who does this for fun.

(Hi, Rocks!)

Could anyone be kind enough to translate
"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. "

Many thanks in advance,
Jesper

Or maybe
"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees"
Apologies for dubbleposting, couldn't edit my first..

Spanish...???? maybe.... George - over to you.


¡Mas vale morir de pie que vivir de rodillas!
Translation:
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!

There is a judgement that is attributed to the revolutionary Dolores Ibárri: "It is better to die standing than live on their knees", but ensures that it belongs to the Mexican Emiliano Zapata, (1879-1919), revolutionary leader, fought for defending his people's rights to land.

"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees"
Mori pedibus quam vivere genibus malo

To latin yes.. But thanks anyways Izzie =)!
And thank you George

Jesper

You're welcome, JesperP.
