More quotes by Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
Pierre Trudeau
People are more interested in ideas than dress.
Pierre Trudeau
Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.
Pierre Trudeau
Well, I am trying to put Quebec in its place - and the place of Quebec is in Canada, nowhere else.
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
The federal government is the balance wheel of the federal system, and the federal system means using counterweights.
Pierre Trudeau
Harvard was an extraordinary window on the world.
