Billy (Shakespeare) said it before Ben. But I would not be surprised to find that someone said it much earlier than that. I once looked into the origin of ~"I wrote you a long letter because I didn't have time to write a short letter" -- I found sources that attributed it to Cicero, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out it was talked about around the cavemen's (and women's) campfires.
