RE: Does anyone know the source for....

Much older than that, I am fairly sure it is Roman in origin, and
quoted/used by later military types.  My books are all packed, though,
sorry.  :(

I believe this is widely attributed to George S. Patton, Jr.
I have always heard it as "A gallon of sweat in training
will save a pint of blood in battle." but I am fuzzy on the
wording. (In addition, Tom Clancy in his latest book _The
Bear and the Dragon_ makes a similar comment.) It is
certainly possible however that the thought predates Patton.
Regards,
Sam
