insightuniverseintelligencemagicpatienceSource: A Shadow Passes, Eden Phillpotts, 1918
Genuine and well sourced: the line appears in Phillpotts's A Shadow Passes (1918). This is the standard citation in reference works, and the quote is often misattributed to Einstein or to various scientists in popular collections — the Phillpotts attribution here is the correct one.
