Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of believing in the existence of God even when there is uncertainty. It suggests that it is better to live a life with faith, moral principles, and a sense of higher purpose, even if it turns out that God doesn't exist.

Thus, the quote encourages a life lived with the belief in God as a safer and more rewarding option.
