R help - May 2004 - EXTREMELY off topic

Dear R People:

Someone in the group has a profound statement by Albert Einstein
in his or her signature set.

The statement is something like:  "make things as simple as possible,
but no simpler."

could you please send me the exact quote?
Thanks,
Erin

QuoteDB and others have it as

"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."
  --  Albert Einstein

(which you might easily have found via Google yourself...)

Not a word about context though...
