The quote "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link" is attributed to Vladimir Lenin who was discussing his reasons why the Bolsheviks were agitating the Russian Proletariat before the Revolution of 1917.

It's from an unknown origin. Most people say things like "The adage claims that "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link" blah blah blah (continue on with their subject)

All sources seem to indicate that it's an old proverb, translated from Latin...and it's probably even older than that.
