That quote was spoken by Jesus. Here are the verses in context:
Matthew 19:27-30
(v. 27) '''Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?"
(v. 28) Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
(v. 29) And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother[a] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
(v. 30) But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first."

Jesus was talking about his flock... that the ones who seem the least important to society but are true believers will be the first issued into the gates of Heaven, compared to whose who are esteemed in the eyes of the people but have heardened hearts. It goes hand in hand with him saying that it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus of Nazareth, The Son of God.
Look in Matthew, chapters 19 and 20.
Mark, chapters 9 and 10.
Luke, chapter 13.

Jesus said that about heaven. Somewhere in the gospels.
