Review the attribution sourceAbout this quote
This page records the wording "The only thing I can say is this: Only through…," which centers on thing, permanent, faithful. 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 justice and spirituality context.
When to use it
- Use "The only thing I can say is this: Only through…" in a justice discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of thing with permanent 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.
