In book called "They never said it!", that is identified as apocryphal, 
which means that he did not write it (maybe I can find a finer criterion 
printed in the book). It is a lot of fun to say it, though, so if he said it 
once, then he probably said it a few times. Einstein said something like it 
on a sign that hung at his door:
"
Not everything that can be counted counts.
Not everything that counts can be counted.
