More quotes by 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
People are more interested in ideas than dress.
Pierre Trudeau
I want to separate sin from crime. You may have to ask forgiveness for your sins from God, but not from the Minister of Justice. There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.
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
In reality, though, the first thing to ask of history is that it should point out to us the paths of liberty. The great lesson to draw from revolutions is not that they devour humanity but rather that tyranny never fails to generate them.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
My life is one long curve, full of turning points.
Pierre Trudeau

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
You just cannot cut a country in two any more than you can cut a human being in two. If you do, you do not have two human beings you have a corpse.
Pierre Trudeau
The state has no place in the nation's bedrooms.
Pierre Trudeau
We are in the extreme centre, the radical middle. That is our position.
Pierre Trudeau
The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us.
Pierre Trudeau
It is wonderful to be despised, if, deep down, we know we are right.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe in God, and I'm a Christian.
Pierre Trudeau
The next time you see Jesus Christ, ask Him what happened to the just society He promised 2,000 years ago.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe military force can be used to redress or change the balance of power in the world, but I think that that's always a losing operation if you're not trying to do it in a way which corresponds to the basic desires of the people on whom you are acting.
Pierre Trudeau
I don't believe you can contain ideas by military force.
Pierre Trudeau
I feel perhaps I didn't deal with the question of violence in depth.
Pierre Trudeau
