This is probably wrong. Quoting from the wikipedia article on this phrase:

  > The phrase derives from the full sentence, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.";
  > it was popularized in the United States by Mark Twain and others, who mistakenly attributed it to the British prime 
  > minister Benjamin Disraeli. The phrase is not found in any of Disraeli's works and the earliest known appearances were
  > years after his death. The phrase was attributed to an anonymous writer in mid-1891 and later that year to Sir 
  > Charles Dilke, but several others have been listed as originators of the quote, including frequent erroneous 
  > attribution to Twain himself.
