It is an old word saying that my grandfather used to say to me all the time. I have heard it said in several different cultures but mostly old world Europe. It is of significant common/simple folk wisdom and is deceptively simple but has profound social implications.
He used to say it to me first when I was very young and sitting at the dinner table. It was, presumably, as encouragement for me to eat my dinner. Suggesting that if I ate, I would grow big and strong through the "filling of my sack" (testicular puns aside now). As I got older, it was used a bit more from a moral and ethical basis, indicating that those people with empty moral characters had no substance and would not endure or prevail.
