It was previously quoted by Howard W. Eves (1969), In Mathematical Circles, item 347° “Kronecker’s Toast”, where the words “der liebe” are not found. Of course, it would be even better to find the original source.
Wikipedia claims on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Kronecker that the quote is from Weber, H. (1893), "Leopold Kronecker" (PDF), Mathematische Annalen, Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 43: 1–25, ISSN 0025-5831, doi:10.1007/BF01446613
