Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

According to Dr. Google, he is at least accredited with it, however with further investigation, William Bruce Cameron wrote that quote in a book of his in 1963 and has been quoted and cited by others, who in turn give credit to Cameron's book. So on and so forth. The "original" image is fake either way. Albert Einstein wrote a lot larger than that...

That's a famous photo (to old people like me). The orig has a 4 letter equation on the board, R-something = O-something. It's likely from the early years after his permanent move to the US in 1933.
If Cameron gets the credit, his 1963 book is 8 years after Einy's death, so who was there to agrue?
WhyTH am I being serious?

But it's a better story with Einstein. Whatever. Truth no matter who coined it.
