Pierre Trudeau
The attainment of a just society is the cherished hope of civilized men.

Pierre Trudeau
When they are 50 yards from Parliament Hill, they are no longer honourable members, they are just nobodies.
Pierre Trudeau
What shall we do about the Abortion Bill? A: Pay it!
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
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
Pierre Trudeau
The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshipped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness.
