More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
If Canada is to survive, it can only survive in mutual respect and in love for one another.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe a constitution can permit the co-existence of several cultures and ethnic groups with a single state.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
For my part...I am a realist but, somehow, optimism always keeps breaking out.
Pierre Trudeau
The Canadian community must invest, for the defence and better appreciation of the French language, as much time, energy, and money as are required to prevent the country from breaking up
Pierre Trudeau
I do object to the sensationalism or even the voyeurism of doing things in church or out of church.
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
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.
