Actually it goes back to the text of Julius Caesar:

Cowards Die Many Times Before Their Deaths,
The Valiant Never Taste Of Death But Once.

Hemingway, in A Farewell To Arms:

The Coward Dies A Thousand Deaths,
The Brave But One

Over time there has been a distillation of the original text. Actually I’m not sure where the version that I remember came from.
