I looked through a bunch of quote books (including Bartlett's) and couldn't find it. However, Quoteland.com says:

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
- Albert Einstein

I can't guarantee the reliability of that answer. But it gives you a place to start looking.
