More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe that Canada cannot, indeed, that Canada must not survive by force. The country will only remain united - it should only remain united - if its citizens want to live together in one civil society.
Pierre Trudeau
It is wonderful to be despised, if, deep down, we know we are right.
Pierre Trudeau
I don't believe you can contain ideas by military force.
Pierre Trudeau
I don't see any easy way of disqualifying people on the basis that they decide not to work.
Pierre Trudeau
I am peaceful but I am not a pacifist in the philosophical sense.
Pierre Trudeau
There is no such thing as a model or ideal Canadian. What could be more absurd than the concept of an all Canadian boy or girl? A society which emphasizes uniformity is one which creates intolerance and hate.
Pierre Trudeau
The community of man should be treated in the same way you would treat your community of brothers or fellow citizens.
Pierre Trudeau
Some things I never learned to like. I didn't like to kiss babies, though I didn't mind kissing their mothers.
Pierre Trudeau
The next time you see Jesus Christ, ask Him what happened to the just society He promised 2,000 years ago.
Pierre Trudeau
I was inclined to judge the validity of a man's faith more by the depth of his roots in reality and brotherhood and love. So I felt more at home, shall we say with some Zoroastrians in the Far East, than I did with some Catholic missionaries.
Pierre Trudeau
The attainment of a just society is the cherished hope of civilized men.
Pierre Trudeau
I think that as the guardian of justice elected by the people it's our duty to use whatever forms of force, police, army, to make sure that at least the freedom of choice is preserved.
Pierre Trudeau
Democracy demands that elected members be able to realize fully the role for which they have been chosen.
Pierre Trudeau
In my political philosophy I think that there sometimes is room for violence.
Pierre Trudeau
I'm far from believing that we've solved the problem of violence in the 20th century and that's why I'm not discouraged that we still have the Biafras and the Northern Irelands and the East Pakistans and, for that matter, violence in American or Canadian cities.
Pierre Trudeau
I feel perhaps I didn't deal with the question of violence in depth.
Pierre Trudeau
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
Pierre Trudeau
It seems to me it would be pretty awful if Canadians came to choose political leaders not for their political ideas and actions, but because of their adherence or their devotedness to one faith or another.
Pierre Trudeau
I can see that in certain political situations you have to use force to overthrow police states.
Pierre Trudeau
