Summary
This quote, in French, roughly translates to "Praying to God is to delude oneself that with words one can change all of nature." It suggests that the act of praying and appealing to a higher power is futile in trying to alter the course of natural events. It implies that prayer alone is insufficient to bring about desired changes or outcomes, as nature acts according to its own laws and cannot be influenced solely through words or supplication.
