No, that was [William Blackstone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone's_ratio). Maybe Ben Franklin also quoted it, but he's not the one who was famous for it.

I feel like if someone quotes another person and then that quote becomes associated with them more thoroughly it would count as famously said. Doesn't stop the first person from being a thing just a matter of having less fame or relevance.
