The words of the highly-quotable Albert Einstein appear on a t-shirt offered for sale on Nassau Street in Princeton. Einstein remains a popular figure in Princeton, but there is no evidence that this quotation about the difference between stupidity and genius, clever as it is, was ever said by him. According to Quote Investigator, this saying is derived from a French quotation which first appeared in print in 1865 where it was attributed to Alexandre Dumas, fils. Nevertheless, you will be forgiven if you choose not to debate this point across the street from the campus of Princeton University.
Note: Yes, you can quote me on that!
