The origin of the saying "this too shall pass" appears to date back to a story told about King Solomon. It is said that the King, feeling blue, asked his advisors to find him a ring he had seen in a dream. "When I feel satisfied I’m afraid that it won’t last. And when I don’t, I am afraid my sorrow will go on forever. Find me the ring that will ease my suffering." Eventually an advisor met an old jeweler who carved into a simple gold band the Hebrew inscription "gam zeh ya’avor" – "this too shall pass." When the king received his ring and read the inscription his sorrows turned to joy and his joy to sorrows, and then both gave way to equanimity. More recently the saying has been popularized in the West by spiritual leaders imported from or inspired by the East, including Ram Dass, the Dali Lama and Tich Nhat Hanh.
The Glass House (2001)
[Ruby Baker is nervous about her first day at a new school]
Dr. Erin Madre-Glass: You shouldn't be nervous, Ruby. You're a great kid.
Ruby Baker: It's not about being great. It's about being...
Dr. Erin Madre-Glass: New?
Ruby Baker: 'Middle-of-the-year' new.
Dr. Erin Madre-Glass: Well, there's a little saying that we teach the patients in the pain ward: 'This too shall pass'.
Ruby Baker: [repeating to herself] This too shall pass, this too shall pass.
(but is in many movies.....sorry)

Most likely since you say a British accent, It is probably Rupert Everett's character, George Downes in "My Best Friend's Wedding".
