More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
I bear solemn witness to the fact that NATO heads of state and of government meet only to go through the tedious motions of reading speeches, drafted by others, with the principal objective of not rocking the boat.
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
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
You know you have a lot of impatience with reality as you see it when you're a young man and full of dynamism and strength and ideals and so on.
Pierre Trudeau
I must say that Give Peace a Chance has always seemed to me to be sensible advice.
Pierre Trudeau
The politicians, who once stated that war was too complex to be left to the generals, now act as though peace were too complex to be left to themselves.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe military force can be used to redress or change the balance of power in the world, but I think that that's always a losing operation if you're not trying to do it in a way which corresponds to the basic desires of the people on whom you are acting.
Pierre Trudeau
There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What's done in private between adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code.
Pierre Trudeau
In my political philosophy I think that there sometimes is room for violence.
Pierre Trudeau
Canadians should realise when they are well off under the Monarchy. For the vast majority of Canadians, being a Monarchy is probably the only form of government acceptable to them. I have always been for parliamentary democracy and I think the institution of Monarchy with the Queen heading it all has served Canada well.
Pierre Trudeau
I never actually got around to taping conversations with my guests, but there are a lot of things you can learn from a man like Nixon.
Pierre Trudeau
We don't think every man should be free to pass on everything to his descendants.
Pierre Trudeau
I remember thinking that walking on the beach as a free man is pretty desirable.
Pierre Trudeau
The federal government is the balance wheel of the federal system, and the federal system means using counterweights.
Pierre Trudeau
It is wonderful to be despised, if, deep down, we know we are right.
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
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
If I found in my own ranks that a certain number of guys wanted to cut my throat, I'd make sure that I cut their throats first.
Pierre Trudeau
The most beautiful missionaries I saw were those who talked less about religion but who were very generous in their approach.
