There's also a saying that goes like "fear not, for I am with you". And
regarding the validity of your "great expression", I would suggest looking
into Matthew 6, 25-34:
----
«For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to
what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you
will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
«Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather
into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much
more than they?
«And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
«And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the
field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself
like one of these.
«But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and
tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You
of little faith!
«Do not worry then, saying, "What will we eat?' or "What will we drink?' or
"What will we wear for clothing?'
«For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father
knows that you need all these things.
«But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things
will be added to you.
«So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its own.

All things considered, I think that your "great expression" is godless
bullshit.
