EInstein quote




A friend tells me that Einstein said:

Common sense is just that body of prejudice acquired before
the age of sixteen.

When I asked him for the source of this quotation, he said that he got
it from one of his friends. Does anyone know if Einstein really said
this, and where in his writings it can be found?

Thanks,

Dan Styer
