More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
We don't think every man should be free to pass on everything to his descendants.
Pierre Trudeau
Obviously, the state's responsibility should be to legislate rules for a well-ordered society. It has no right or duty to creep into the bedrooms of the nation.
Pierre Trudeau
I don't believe you can contain ideas by military force.
Pierre Trudeau
I am peaceful but I am not a pacifist in the philosophical sense.
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
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
As against the invisible hand of Adam Smith, there has to be a visible hand of politicians whose objective is to have the kind of society that is caring and humane.
Pierre Trudeau
Harvard was an extraordinary window on the world.
Pierre Trudeau
I think it's good that you test the reality that surrounds you in your neighbourhood with the reality as it is in other parts of the world you come up with a better judgment. I'm not meaning that literally you can only do that and not go to school at all but in terms of enrichment of a personality I think it's a fabulous thing.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.
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
In academic life you seek to state absolute truths in politics you seek to accommodate truth to the facts around you.
Pierre Trudeau
I don't see any easy way of disqualifying people on the basis that they decide not to work.
Pierre Trudeau
Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.
Pierre Trudeau
We are in the extreme centre, the radical middle. That is our position.
Pierre Trudeau
Bilingualism is not an imposition on the citizens. The citizens can go on speaking one language or six languages, or no languages if they so choose. Bilingualism is an imposition on the state and not the citizens.
Pierre Trudeau
We must now establish the basic principles, the basic values and beliefs which hold us together as Canadians so that beyond our regional loyalties there is a way of life and a system of values which make us proud of the country that has given us such freedom and such immeasurable joy.
Pierre Trudeau
The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshipped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness.
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
