Isn’t there a law or something stating that Einstein never said 99% of what’s attributed to him? Or maybe that the accuracy of quote’s attribution is inversely proportional to the person’s fame?
Thanks FiftyTwo- I just looked up the article you refer to and it indicates that it may be a paraphrase of a longer quote. I heard this from Anthony Robbins, this quote is attributed to Einstein in some of his literature. It seems that the sentiment, if not the exact quote, seem to be attributable to Einstein
Source? Wikiquote seems to think its a misquote.

Well, it’s unsurprising that misattributed quotes are more often attributed to famous people than to unknown people.
