Likely origin: The World As I See It
About this quote
This page records the wording "It is right in principle that those should be the…," which centers on right, principle, loved. 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 love and life context.
When to use it
- Use "It is right in principle that those should be the…" in a love discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of right with principle 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.
