Subject: [PW] "Better to Die on Your Feet" (Quotation Query #641)



According to that great quotation resource, Wikipedia, "It is better to 
die on your feet than live on your knees" was originated (in a Spanish 
version, of course), not by Zapata or La Pasionara, but by Jose Marti. 
Can anyone point me to any evidence for this assertion?  John Dyson?
