What is the difference between a cactus and a conservative caucus? On a cactus, the pricks are on the outside.

One moment it's a cathedral, at another time there is no words to describe it when it ceases, for short periods of time, to have any regard for the proprieties that constitute not only Parliament, but its tradition. I've seen it in all its greatness. I have inwardly wept over it when it is degraded.

I have one love - Canada; one purpose - Canada's greatness; one aim - Canadian unity from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

I'm disturbed because the doctors tell me I'm as sound as a dollar.

I was criticized for being too much concerned with the average Canadians. I can't help that; I am one of them!

I am not anti-American. But I am strongly pro-Canadian.

There can be no dedication to Canada's future without a knowledge of its past.
