Knowledge of the Law alone is not enough

"Knowledge of the Law alone is not enough to gain Paradise in the world to come; if that Paradise is to be won and the earth is also to be transformed into a Paradise, this Law must be not only known but also observed. And there remains a very wide gap between the knowledge of the Law in theory and its observance in practice."

R' Hirsch, Collected Writings II, p. 398
