If that were really true, then the threat of jail would be no threat.

Yeah, the full quote is:

"From the miltary school of life: that which does not kill me makes me stronger."

I think it's in Twilight of the Idols.

I've always found that saying stupid. I've got a mosquito bite the size of a foetus on my forehead and it itches like hell. It might not destroy me but I don't think it will make me stronger either.

but I do believe in the saying btw in most cases- not all.

I use that saying with viruses and such. What doesn't kill you will make your immune system stronger . That's why I'm against anti-bacterial soaps and such.

and some people like him cause he was such a rebel and his philosophy was so individualistic... but also in that militant, right-wing way... so you get both (radical) non-conformists and right-wing extremists liking him.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Yeah, and Jesus didn't get any girls either and ended up dying in agony, so let's just ignore anything he ever said

The best parody I've ever heard was from...*tries to think back* it must have been some action movie, and one guy says before some death-defying feat "Remember, anything that doesn't kill you leaves you stronger" and his partner says "Yeah, but anything that does kill me leaves me DEAD!"
Words to live by.

EDIT: Oooh, and I can't forget "Anything that doesn't kill me had better darned well start running or else it will wish it did!" or something to that effect.
