Quote by Albert Einstein

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what

Summary

This quote implies that simply knowing and understanding the current state of things or how things are doesn't necessarily provide a clear pathway towards what should be or what is ideal. Knowledge of the present is essential, but it's not sufficient on its own to guide us in determining what ought to be done or what the desired outcome or future should look like. It highlights the importance of critical thinking, strategic planning, and envisioning a better future instead of solely relying on existing knowledge or accepting the status quo.

I wasn't ready for fame and all that brings to your life. It was an amazing experience, but so overwhelming, because no one can tell you beforehand when it will happen or how it will impact you. So no one can tell you how to handle it, being stopped everywhere you go because people saw you on 'Oprah.' It took me over, and I wasn't ready.

I have seen enough, too, to know that it is not always the youngest and best who are spared to those that love them; but this should give us comfort rather than sorrow, for Heaven is just, and such things teach us impressively that there is a far brighter world than this, and that the passage to it is speedy.
