It's most often attributed to Albert Einstein, sometimes to Benjamin Franklin, but I have never seen a specific citation for either one, which makes me suspect it was neither.
It doesn't sound like Franklin to me. (Is "over and over" a phrase that was used in the 18th century? It sounds more modern than that -- I think Franklin would more likely have said "repeatedly.")
I suspect this one really should be attributed to the prolific "Anonymous."
