All our prayers can't keep a single leaf from falling.

About This Quote

All our prayers can't keep a single leaf from falling. There is nothing that can stop nature from changing, nothing that can stop nature from surviving, nothing that can stop nature from causing us to die. If we wish to live, we must learn to accept this. The phrase all our prayers can't keep a single leaf from falling is saying that there is no way to stop nature from keeping on living or killing us. This means that it's foolish to try to fight against the natural process of death and decay.
