Hello,
I am trying to find in which book Albert Einstein wrote something. I will appreciate any help. The adage i am trying to find is:
Education is not the learning of things , but the education of the mind so that it can think.
Thank.you

This probably isn't the right forum for the question, though.

There is a letter from 3/22/44 in which he wrote:

"Weisheit ist nicht das Ergebnis der Schulbildung, sondern des lebenslangen Versuchs, sie zu erwerben. - https://www.myzitate.de/Albert-einstein"

Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.

But it wasn't said on that page to whom he wrote the letter.
