More quotes by Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

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
When they are 50 yards from Parliament Hill, they are no longer honourable members, they are just nobodies.
Pierre Trudeau
The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us.
Pierre Trudeau
My life is one long curve, full of turning points.
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
