The quote has changed a little since the original by John Stuart Mill, the British philosopher form the 1800's... "Life has a certain flavor for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience."
I believe Roosevelt, Patton, and "unknown soldiers" have been attributed to versions of this.
