That's the direct quote from Frank Herbert's Dune. You're thinking of the 1984 film adaptation, which features the line, "Remember, walk without rhythm and we won't attract the worm." (emphasis added)

The line from Weapon of Choice is, "Walk without rhythm, [and] it won't attract the worm."

It isn't a direct quote, but an allusion. Freebeard's attribution stands.
