Voltaire didn't say this.
This statement was made up by Beatrice Hall, in her 1907 book Friends of Voltaire writing under the pseudonym S. G. Tallentyre. Not only that, Ms. Hall specifically stated that it was something Voltaire might have said. That is, she thought he should have said it, but didn't. You can think of the statement as Ms. Hall's summary of Voltaire's Essay on Tolerance.

I do believe Voltaire said it. He also voiced the idea that " your freedom ends at the tip of my nose" --the say/do whatever you want as long as you don't harm me while saying/doing it." (which is the basis of the quote you mentioned)

I think George Washington said that to Benedict Arnold.
