No, I don't think that Galileo ever said that. Instead, he was saying that the earth are moving around the sun. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism, the theory inherited by Nicolaus Copernicus, saying that the sun as the center of the universe.

Galileo's championing of Copernicanism was controversial within his lifetime. The geocentric view had been dominant since the time of Aristotle, and the controversy engendered by Galileo's opposition to this view resulted in the Catholic Church's prohibiting the advocacy of heliocentrism as potentially factual, because that theory had no decisive proof and was contrary to the literal meaning of Scripture. Galileo was eventually forced to recant his heliocentrism and spent the last years of his life under house arrest on orders of the Inquisition.
