More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
I remember thinking that walking on the beach as a free man is pretty desirable.
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
Democracy demands that elected members be able to realize fully the role for which they have been chosen.
Pierre Trudeau
I think that religions must seek peace and love and therefore be pacifist.
Pierre Trudeau
It is wonderful to be despised, if, deep down, we know we are right.
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
As against the invisible hand of Adam Smith, there has to be a visible hand of politicians whose objective is to have the kind of society that is caring and humane.
Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau

Pierre Trudeau
I believe military force can be used to redress or change the balance of power in the world, but I think that that's always a losing operation if you're not trying to do it in a way which corresponds to the basic desires of the people on whom you are acting.
Pierre Trudeau
For my part...I am a realist but, somehow, optimism always keeps breaking out.
Pierre Trudeau
If Canada is to survive, it can only survive in mutual respect and in love for one another.
Pierre Trudeau
The state has no place in the nation's bedrooms.
Pierre Trudeau
Long live free France.
Pierre Trudeau
My life is one long curve, full of turning points.
Pierre Trudeau
I know the usual answer of Christ using violence to get the sellers out of the temple, but to me this was impatience rather than violence.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
Pierre Trudeau
The new frontier lies not beyond the planets but within each one of us.
Pierre Trudeau
