More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
I believe a constitution can permit the co-existence of several cultures and ethnic groups with a single state.
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
If I found in my own ranks that a certain number of guys wanted to cut my throat, I'd make sure that I cut their throats first.
Pierre Trudeau
For my part...I am a realist but, somehow, optimism always keeps breaking out.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.
Pierre Trudeau
I think that religions must seek peace and love and therefore be pacifist.
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.
Pierre Trudeau
I can see that in certain political situations you have to use force to overthrow police states.
Pierre Trudeau
I remember thinking that walking on the beach as a free man is pretty desirable.
Pierre Trudeau
I, for one, will be convinced that the Canada we know and love will be gone forever. But, then, Thucydides wrote that Themistocles' greatness lay in the fact that he realized Athens was not immortal. I think we have to realize that Canada is not immortal but, if it is going to go, let it go with a bang rather than a whimper.
Pierre Trudeau
I am peaceful but I am not a pacifist in the philosophical sense.
Pierre Trudeau
Obviously, the state's responsibility should be to legislate rules for a well-ordered society. It has no right or duty to creep into the bedrooms of the nation.
Pierre Trudeau
In academic life you seek to state absolute truths in politics you seek to accommodate truth to the facts around you.
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 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
I know the usual answer of Christ using violence to get the sellers out of the temple, but to me this was impatience rather than violence.
Pierre Trudeau
The attainment of a just society is the cherished hope of civilized men.
Pierre Trudeau
This is the beauty of the democratic process: it permits that subjective view of justice - which everyone holds - permits that subjective way to express itself peacefully through discussion, through reason and through the voting process.
Pierre Trudeau
Canadians should realise when they are well off under the Monarchy. For the vast majority of Canadians, being a Monarchy is probably the only form of government acceptable to them. I have always been for parliamentary democracy and I think the institution of Monarchy with the Queen heading it all has served Canada well.
Pierre Trudeau
