Thanks for your efforts to track it down. I think we’ll just have to enjoy the sentiment without knowing for sure that it came from the Great Man Himself :-)
So many quotations are attributed to Einstein, that…I’m afraid I’ve become wary. I don’t suppose you happen to know where he said this? Because it’s such a great quote, and I’d like to forward it, but I don’t feel I can unless I track it down and know that it came from Einstein (sorry). Thanks!
You are right about attribution. I have always understood this to be definitely his; can’t recall reference but will do a little hunting when I have time. (It is too good a comment for anyone elese to have invented!)
