I believe LTL is correct on this one; the quote is from Lazarus Long, who actually is a creation of author Robert Heinlein. ("Long" also said "Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.")

However, a web search will deliver several sites that use the quote and attribute it to Twain. But websites that are specifically about quotes and who first said them attribute the saying to Long/Heinlein. My guess is that those sites that attribute it to Twain are using the "I read it on the internet so it must be true" line of thinking.
