Lock and Load, boys and girls.
Iffen they try, it will then be time to start pulling triggers.
Too bad, but what the hey, you can’t live forever!
Better that they die on THEIR feet than you live on YOUR knees.
With apoligies to our (honorary) countryman, Winston Churchill.
I think you mean Emiliano Zapata. He, not Winnie, said "Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas.".
Churchill did express similar sentiments though:
Still if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
