That is a wonderful saying. I also can't remember where I first
encountered it. Walt Whitman? Mark Twain? Thich Nhat Hanh? It may even
have been Sangharakshita; he does sometimes say things rather like
that. 

In my opinion, which has never been humble despite almost always being
wrong, the quotation you cite is indeed the beginning of a sane approach
to Buddhism.
