Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me out...

I was wondering :39: if the German expression "Ein Indianer kennt keinen Schmerz" (literal english translation: "An Indian Brave Knows No Pain") has an equivalent in English.
...or is "An Indian Brave Knows No Pain" correct?!

Thanx a lot in advance!

I've heard different versions of same here in the U.S.;

A Marine feels no pain.

A Soldier knows no pain.

A warrior shows no pain.

Probably "An Indian shows no pain" got outdated and even political incorrect , that would explain why there are so many new versions.
