You are probably looking for : "It tolls for thee" from John Donnes poem written in 1624.

A common misconception credits Earnest Hemmingway for the phrase because of the book he wrote in the 1940's which used the phrase as the title.

I prefer the pre-sellout Metallica ending tho which is "Time marches on."

Every man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in humanity; therefore send not to ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Originally written by John Donne (1571? - 1631), so Hemingway was quoting it.

‘No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.’
