Depends on what you mean by 'said'. Schwarzenegger's character said it (in Terminator II, I think), which means that a scriptwriter wrote it. But the scriptwriter borrowed it from Nietzsche, who deserves a little credit too (we philosophers don't go in for advertising much, but we do have egos...). Nietzsche had a lot to say about power, about servile mentalities, and about letting go (saying 'yes' to life).

Enjoying your essays (and your prodding of Apple),
