Quote by Bertolt Brecht

You don't need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.

You don't need to pray to God any more when there are storms

Summary

It suggests that rather than seeking solace or divine intervention during turbulent times (symbolized by storms), it is more important to have tangible protection in the form of insurance. The quote reflects a shift towards placing trust in practical measures over religious beliefs, implying that being insured carries more assurance and peace of mind than relying on prayer alone.
