Jonathan Swift, in Polite Conversation, mentions the phrase as a cliché - so obviously he did not originate it.
The phrase seems to have Biblical origins - but the idea is a lot older than The Bible. Similar language can be found in Jeremiah 5:21-22.
This closely highlights the teaching of Romans 3:12 "there is none that doeth good, no, not one." The preceding verses outlined how mankind is inherently sinful and no-one is entirely perfect, therefore none could open the book to free the earth from sin. The book represents the title deeds to the earth and those who dwell there. In verse 4, John is grieving over the complete failure of man to be worthy.

This phrase means that some people are willfully ignorant and refuse to acknowledge the truth even when it is presented to them. It emphasizes how stubbornness and close-mindedness can prevent someone from understanding or accepting a different perspective.
None So Blind was created in 1994-11.
"None so blind as those who will not see" appears in Matthew Henry's Commentaries (1708-1710). The proverb is an echo of The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, 5:21: "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes and see not; which have ears and hear not."
Those who get half a loaf become happy because half a loaf is better than none.
