I've heard either John Steakley's Armor (which I've read but don't recall line for line) and something call the Masao or the Macao.

It's from the bible as a paraphrase.Ephesians 6:10-12
10 ... stay strong in the Lord...11..put on your armour...12 for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil....

It's simpler than that. It's a quote that appears at the beginning of the science fiction novel ARMOR by John Steakley. The Masao is a character in the book but he does not offer the quote in the narrative, it appears before the story as a cue for the narrative frame. A fictional quote from a fictional character that has captured the hearts and motivations of real people for almost thirty years.

There are different variations of the same phrase, such as "It's what you do on the day it counts". I'm not certain of the origin, but here are a few sites that may help you on your quest:
