More likely to be a spin on the original quote than the original quote, but it's a start.
I'd say that the author of that quote is almost impossible to determine, since a lot of sites are listing it as a proverb rather than a quotation.

"Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.

'Tis folly to be wise."
-Thomas Gray, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College
