Notable quotes

“I'm not just in this race so you will remember my name at some future date. I'm not here now for some next time. I am not bidding now for your consideration for some vague convention in 1984- perhaps when I've mellowed a bit. My time is now and now is no time for mellow men!”

“In any democracy, there is always a tug-of-war between policies to achieve equality and policies to promote excellence. I am certain that Canada can achieve both equality and excellence.”
— 1968 Liberal Party Leadership convention speech, April 5, 1968. ()
“I'm not going to allow Mr. Mulroney to sell out our birthright, I'm not going to let Mr. Mulroney destroy a great 120 year old dream called Canada.”
— repeated comment during 1988 Federal Election campaign in opposition to the Free Trade Agreement.()
“In opposition, there's not much one can do. One doesn't have the carrot and one doesn't have the stick. One can't promote and one can't fire. And persuasion has its limits.”
— Explaining why he did not punish objectors to his Liberal Party leadership, published in the Toronto Star, June 19, 1990.
“We must never give up on this country! Never, never, never, never!”
