The closest I could find was this:
Robert Collier said this "If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you"

I don't think it is necessary to credit whomever with saying this, if they did. You can paraphrase in your own words to get the point across. Good luck in the election, luv.

Wise men talk because they have something to say --- fools, because they have to say something.
