Syrio Forel, Game of Thrones based on A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin
It doesn't matter that much, but I'm pretty sure that line is original to the HBO series, not to the books.
(Not my downvotes, incidentally, but I'd speculate they come from a desire to separate rationality from anti-deathism.)
It's not from the TV series either.
The TV series quote would be this: "There is only one God. And his name is Death. And there is only thing we say to Death: 'Not today'."
Basically the grandparent post seems to be just a quote from memory, combining bits and pieces from both places, accurate to neither.
I could've sworn it was from both of them, and, thus, from the books originally...
It's not from the books; more generally, there isn't anything in the books directly suggesting a connection between Syrio and the Faceless Men.
Thanks. Fixed it.
Couldn't find it in the Arya chapters of my copy. Wasn't looking terribly hard, though.
I remembered it vaguely, and found the more exact quote on the ASOIAF Quotes page on TvTropes since I didn't want to search through the Arya chapters to find the exact quote, though I was prepared to.
