“We shall have our manhood. We shall have it or the earth will be leveled by our attempts to gain it.”

“The days, the weeks, the years out here shall come back again, and our dead comrades shall then stand up again and march with us, our heads shall be clear, we shall have a purpose, and so we shall march, our dead comrades beside us, the years at the Front behind us:—against whom, against whom?”

“We are not long-term beings. Not heroes of romances in many volumes. For one gesture, for one word alone, we shall make the effort. We openly admit: our creations will be temporary. We shall have this as our aim: a gesture.”

“If we never have headaches through rebuking our children, we shall have plenty of heartaches when they grow up.”

“If we will not prepare to give all that we have and that all that we are to preserve Christian civilization in our land, we shall go to destruction.”

“The poetry of mother earth is truly alive! When we open our ears...we hear it. When we open our hearts...we can feel it. When we open our minds...we shall see it!   Timothy Pina”
