Bertolt Brecht
When the house of a great one collapses Many little ones are slain.
Bertolt Brecht
For the task assigned them Men aren't smart enough or sly Any rogue can blind them With a clever lie.

Bertolt Brecht
When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.
Bertolt Brecht
Oh! Moon of Alabama We now must say good-bye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey Oh, you know why!
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.

Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.
Bertolt Brecht
One must live well to know what living is.
Bertolt Brecht
General, man is very useful. He can fly and he can kill. But he has one defect: He can think.
Bertolt Brecht
Life is short and so is money.
Bertolt Brecht
Temptation to behave is terrible.
Bertolt Brecht
First the pork chops, then morality
