I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.

We must vigilantly stand on guard within our own borders for human rights and fundamental freedoms which are our proud heritage......w e cannot take for granted the continuance and maintenance of those rights and freedoms.

One moment it's a cathedral, at another time there is no words to describe it when it ceases, for short periods of time, to have any regard for the proprieties that constitute not only Parliament, but its tradition. I've seen it in all its greatness. I have inwardly wept over it when it is degraded.

I have always been a House of Commons man.

You can't stand up for Canada with a banana for a backbone.

I'm disturbed because the doctors tell me I'm as sound as a dollar.

I have one love - Canada one purpose - Canada's greatness one aim - Canadian unity from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

That one never asks a question unless he knows the answer is basic to parliamentary questioning.

I am not anti-American. But I am strongly pro-Canadian.

I have an intensive hatred for discrimination based on colour.

Parliament is more than procedure - it is the custodian of the nation's freedom.

I've got all of my enemies here in the Cabinet where I can keep an eye on them.

There can be no dedication to Canada's future without a knowledge of its past.

The Liberals are the flying saucers of politics. No one can make head nor tail of them and they never are seen twice in the same place.

I was criticized for being too much concerned with the average Canadians. I can't help that I am one of them!

I am so excited about Canadians ruling the world.
