Well, just to be overly pedantic:-)
It is actually uttered by one of the Sal's, Salerio and Salanio, who  are 
friends of Angelo, the aforementioned Merchant.  


Which Sal it is a subject of some debate, last time  I checked, as the speech
tags used vary widely, as do the actual names, between the various folios and
quartos.
