I found only one online reference to the quote (the one the previous answerer noted): a quiz with 11 quotes and 10 quoters: Danton, Louis XVI, Marat, Metternich, Mirabeau, Napoleon, Olympe de Gouges, Robespierre, Sieyes, and Talleyrand.
I took those quotes and narrowed down all the ones I knew:
#1 is Louis XVI, #2 and #4 is Napolean, #3 is Robespierre, #5 is Sieyes, #6 is Talleyrand (though he was not the first), #8 is Danton, #11 is de Gouges.
That leaves Marat, Metternich, and Mirabeau. Marat and Mirabeau died soon after the Revolution, and the quote suggests that it's from a non-Frenchman. Thus, your answer is Metternich (full name: Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar Fürst von Metternich-Winneburg-Beilstein.

My favourite announcing is "Yeah Right". My favourite quote is via Bill Clinton and is as follows "I didn't have sexual family members with "that" lady"....That's nonetheless an fantastic quote.
