Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), in section two of his 1888 work "Ecce Homo". The quote you're using is paraphrased from his original:

was ihn nicht umbringt, macht ihn starker

Translated: What does not kill him, makes him stronger.

It's been updated to "that which does not kill us weakens us and kills us later."
