More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
The Canadian community must invest, for the defence and better appreciation of the French language, as much time, energy, and money as are required to prevent the country from breaking up
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
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

Pierre Trudeau
People are more interested in ideas than dress.
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
Harvard was an extraordinary window on the world.
Pierre Trudeau
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
Pierre Trudeau
I was inclined to judge the validity of a man's faith more by the depth of his roots in reality and brotherhood and love. So I felt more at home, shall we say with some Zoroastrians in the Far East, than I did with some Catholic missionaries.
Pierre Trudeau
Long live free France.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
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
