    Question "An Indian Brave Knows No Pain" ?!

    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!

    According to my source (VERY reliable...), the saying would then be 'An Indian shows no pain'.

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    Probably "An Indian shows no pain" got outdated and even political incorrect , that would explain why there are so many new versions.
