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.

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