Those who pray always are necessary to those who never pray. In our view, the whole question is in the amount of thought that is mingled with prayer. Leibnitz, praying, is something grand; Voltaire, worshipping, is something beautiful. Deo erexit Voltaire.

In the original (French)

Il faut bien ceux qui prient toujours pour ceux qui ne prient jamais.Pour nous, toute la question est dans la quantité de pensée qui se mêle à la prière.Leibniz priant, cela est grand; Voltaire adorant, cela est beau. Deo erexit Voltaire.
