Summary

This quote suggests that faith is helpful and beneficial in times when everything is clear and evident. However, during a crisis or urgent situation, relying solely on faith may not be sufficient.

It conveys the idea that relying on rationality, evidence, and observation can be more reliable and efficient in addressing emergencies.
