About this quote
This page records the wording "has lent the enormous weight of his reputation to the…," which centers on enormous, weight, reputation. A concrete trail points toward Einstein, but the exact English form remains unconfirmed; the page therefore labels it as attributed to him while preserving its wisdom and life context.
When to use it
- Use "has lent the enormous weight of his reputation to the…" in a wisdom discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of enormous with weight in a lesson, essay, or editorial note before drawing a conclusion.
- Before sharing it as Einstein's exact words, display the attribution caveat and follow the evidence link recorded on the page.
