Good vort, but it predates Rav Yankev. I think I have heard it in the name of Rav Yisroel Salanter or some other early mussar movement great.
I have heard it in the name of the Kotzker Rebbe.
Litvak and ASJ,
The Litvak heard the quote before from a Litvak. The Chassid heard it before from a Chassid. :-) I hadn't heard it from anyone before R' Yaakov.
Yasher Koach on the corrected atribution!

Kol HaKavod. How true it is (for bloggers particularly!)
I also remember hearing this one from the Kotzker. And remember, Litvak wasn't sure, he just wrote, " I think I have heard it in the name of Rav Yisroel Salanter or some other early mussar movement great." That could probably include the Kotzker, who some refer to as a critic of Chassidus!
