"Il est dans la nature humaine de penser sagement et d'agir de manière absurde"
— Anatole France

Simplified Meaning:
People often come up with smart ideas and plans in their minds but end up doing things that don't make sense. For example, a person might know eating healthy is important and plan to eat more vegetables and fruits. However, when they see a tempting chocolate cake, they might eat it even though it's not good for their health. This happens because thinking about doing the right thing is easier than actually doing it. Sometimes, our actions are driven by our feelings and impulses rather than our logical thoughts. To make better choices, it's important to remind ourselves of our goals and try to stick to our plans even when we're tempted.
