YESTERDAY is history,
TOMORROW is a mystery,
But TODAY is a gift,
that is why it's called the PRESENT.
If youâll dare to take your mind off your troubles, get your mind off your own needs and, instead, seek to be a blessing to other people, God will do more for you than you could even ask or think."
â Joel Osteen
Favorite Zapata quotes:
- Es mejor morir a pie que vivir arrodillado
(Translation: It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.)
- ¡Tierra y Libertad!
(Translation: Land and Liberty)
Ignorance and obscurantism have never produced anything other than flocks of slaves for tyranny.
(In a letter to Pancho Villa)
Modern activists in Mexico frequently make reference to Zapata in their campaigns, his image is commonly seen on banners and many chants invoke his name:
Si Zapata viviera con nosotros andarÃa,
("If Zapata lived, he would walk with us.")
Zapata vive, la luc...Expand for more
ha sigue,
("Zapata lives; the struggle continues.")
Zapata has in the last few decades been recast as a quasi-religious icon as well, mostly within indigenous or Zapatista communities, where he is called "Votán Zapata." Votán (Wotán in modern Mayan spelling) is a Mayan god, who with his twin brother Ik'al was said to have descended from the mountains to teach the people to defend themselves. A part of Our Word is Our Weapon by Subcomandante Marcos of the EZLN is dedicated to Votán Zapata.

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." - Ronald Reagan
"You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth- and the amusing thing about it is that they are." -Father Kevin Keaney

WE STOLE THE EAGLE FROM THE AIR FORCE, THE ANCHOR FROM THE NAVY AND THE ROPE FROM THE ARMY.
ON THE SEVENTH DAY WHILE GOD RESTED, WE OVERRAN HIS PERIMETER, STOLE THE GLOBE AND WE'VE BEEN RUNNING THE WHOLE SHOW EVER SINCE.
WE LIVE LIKE SOLDIERS, TALK LIKE SAILORS, AND SLAP THE HELL OUT OF BOTH OF THEM.
WARRIORS BY DAY, LOVERS BY NIGHT, PROFESSIONALS BY CHOICE, AND MARINES BY THE GRACE OF GOD.".
