Is this a perfect sentence ?
I don't think the word "As" is necessary in the sentence below. As far as I know 'As' is a conjunction, which means there must be two clauses if it can be used. However, there's no main clause in the sentence. Is it correct? Is there any words omitted? Thank you in advance.
As Albert Einstein once said, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

To my ear, the quotation itself is the main clause. You sometimes see it without the quote marks.
If it isn't one thing, it's another, as my father used to say.
