evidence: No substantive evidence exists suggesting Einstein made this statement, though it (as O’Toole wrote on his website) has been attributed to him in at least one self-help book. In fact, the quote can be traced to a well-established allegory involving animals doing impossible things, used to illustrate the fallacy of judging someone by a skill or ability that person (or animal) does not possess. [...] In fact, this one is a version of a statement made not by Einstein but by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in his famous "Critique of Practical Reason" (1889). The actual quote is: "Two things fill the mind with ever-increasing wonder and awe, the more often and the more intensely the mind of thought is drawn to them: the starry heavens above me and moral law within me." In "The Ultimate Quotable Einstein," editor Alice Calaprice clarified that Einstein agreed with this statement, but did not actually say it. In fact, he was quoting a passage by an anonymous "wit" in a chapter he wrote on education, included in his book "Out of My Later Years."
