Pierre Trudeau
Paddling a canoe is a source of enrichment and inner renewal.
Pierre Trudeau
Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.
Pierre Trudeau
The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.
Pierre Trudeau
For my part...I am a realist but, somehow, optimism always keeps breaking out.

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
If Canada is to survive, it can only survive in mutual respect and in love for one another.
Pierre Trudeau
