Do you have an example of a better quote? Not asking rhetorically, just curious to see a comparison to something that is a constant truth.

Edit:

After reading your post I imagined telling this quote to a POW or a person in a concentration camp. In modern day maybe this would be considered a "white (read as 1st world) privilege" quote.

Funny enough I had initially found it somewhat motivational. But it's clearly something an authoritarian could say to make someone submissive to their ways.

But maybe it's all semantics and requires proper context.
