I couldn't find that quote anywhere, and it's very unlikely that Cicero said it, or something like that.

Iirc Tacitus said something similar, roughly: "the higher the number of laws the more corrupt an empire is".

The statement wouldn't have made sense from Cicero as that wasn't really a position he would have held, or even a position he found himself in at all in his defence of the republic (because this wasn't really a problem at the time, or at least not the biggest one)
