I don't mind being a symbol but I don't want to become a monument. There are monuments all over the Parliament Buildings and I've seen what the pigeons do to them.

Courage, my friends; 'tis not too late to build a better world.

I remember burying a girl fourteen years of age who had died with a ruptured appendix... I buried a good many people that I knew, some of whom I loved.

Setting people to spy on one another is not the way to protect freedom.

I'm sure that the standard of public morality we've helped build will force government in Canada to approve complete health insurance.

Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.

Canada is like an old cow. The West feeds it. Ontario and Quebec milk it. And you can well imagine what it's doing in the Maritimes.

My dream is for people around the world to look up and to see Canada like a little jewel sitting at the top of the continent.
