I think that might actually be from the Koran.

EDIT: Not precisely that, but the general sentiment.

I believe the precise wording is, "Whosoever saves one life, it shall be as if they saved all of humanity."

EDIT: My mistake. According to Wikiquotes:

Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world. Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5; Yerushalmi Talmud 4:9, Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 37a.
