Pierre Trudeau
I can see that in certain political situations you have to use force to overthrow police states.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe a constitution can permit the co-existence of several cultures and ethnic groups with a single state.

Pierre Trudeau
The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us.
Pierre Trudeau
Democracy demands that elected members be able to realize fully the role for which they have been chosen.
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
Power only tires those who don't exercise it.
Pierre Trudeau
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
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
