Conan responding to the question what is best in life (Conan the Barbarian).

I think this quote was originally from Ghengis Khan. Someone else may know for sure. The Conan writers shamelessly stole it. But I never let ownership get in the way of using a great line!

"In Germany, they first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me -- and by that time there was nobody left to speak up."
