Who said this quote?

[Bob Jewett]

I truly have no idea who said it. The only quote I can think of that is attributed to Albert Einstein is " There are six million shots in the game of pool".

Which, it seems, Einstein never said. If he had said anything at all on the subject, I think he would have gotten a larger number. My search indicates Al never said anything about pool or billiards, but if someone has a valid reference to a printed source, I'd love to see it.

yea believe that is Mark Twain

I think this was the opening line in The Color of Money, spoken by a narrator. Who that was I don't know.

"There's a scuffler and there's a hustler, ya see. A hustler is one who is always in action and gets it once in a while, a good one more often. Then there's a scuffler. He never gets it. Ya understand? All he ever does is waste his time. He gets in everybody's way. Ya understand? That's all, he goes through life and he's a failure".

Eddie Felson in TCOM. It was Fatty! :grin:

... So, in that regard, who said this? "The Secret of Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." :wink:

Apparently, C. E. M. Joad, followed by lots of other people: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/06/01/creative/

Why, Fats, of course! :grin-square:

Sure sounds like Fatty-speak to me.

In which they attribute it to Einstein. Doesn't seem like Einstein. Reads like Twain.

Best quote ever goes to Ernest Hemmingway:
"The only true sports are auto racing, mountain climbing, & bull fighting, everything else is just a game"

Which actually isn't a Hemingway quote, or at least not a verified one.

So.. in this thread we have a Mark Twain quote that's not Mark Twain, a Hemingway quote that's not Hemingway, and an Einstein quote that's not Einstein.
