It is a New Testament quote.
I.E. Christianity.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it." (Matthew 10:34-39 NASB)

The Bible!
Matthew:
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Ahhhh, And the love goes on.......More good morals.

As you well know, it comes from Matthew 10:34; '... d o not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.'
Followed by Matt.10:35-39;'... for I came to set a man his father and a daughter against her mother and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

In the Bible, you'll find it in the Gospel of Matthew 10:34.
Peace be with you.
