We must now establish the basic principles, the basic values and beliefs which hold us together as Canadians so that beyond our regional loyalties there is a way of life and a system of values which make us proud of the country that has given us such freedom and such immeasurable joy.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
I'm far from believing that we've solved the problem of violence in the 20th century and that's why I'm not discouraged that we still have the Biafras and the Northern Irelands and the East Pakistans and, for that matter, violence in American or Canadian cities.
Pierre Trudeau
In my political philosophy I think that there sometimes is room for violence.
Pierre Trudeau
The community of man should be treated in the same way you would treat your community of brothers or fellow citizens.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.
Pierre Trudeau
The state has no place in the nation's bedrooms.
Pierre Trudeau
I honestly don't know what they mean by a devout Catholic.
Pierre Trudeau
I think violence is counter-productive and it is bad in democratic societies.
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
