I think this might be the original quote.
"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."
-Alexander Hamilton

Or maybe this is the original-
"You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything"
~Ginger Rogers [1978]

But your quote has been linked to Malcolm X too, but I could not find any information on that to prove if it is true or not.
