More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
I do object to the sensationalism or even the voyeurism of doing things in church or out of church.
Pierre Trudeau
I was shaken to the extent that people who criticized me used to say that I was Protestant more than a Catholic because I like to impose constraints on myself, but I don't like them to be imposed from the outside.
Pierre Trudeau
A country, after all, is not something you build as the pharaohs built the pyramids, and then leave standing there to defy eternity. A country is something that is built every day out of certain basic shared values.
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
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
Pierre Trudeau
Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.
Pierre Trudeau
The most beautiful missionaries I saw were those who talked less about religion but who were very generous in their approach.
Pierre Trudeau
The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.
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
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
People are more interested in ideas than dress.
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
It is wonderful to be despised, if, deep down, we know we are right.
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
I feel perhaps I didn't deal with the question of violence in depth.
Pierre Trudeau
Power only tires those who don't exercise it.
Pierre Trudeau
You just cannot cut a country in two any more than you can cut a human being in two. If you do, you do not have two human beings you have a corpse.
Pierre Trudeau
We don't think every man should be free to pass on everything to his descendants.
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 must say that Give Peace a Chance has always seemed to me to be sensible advice.
Pierre Trudeau
