Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.

I was too busy doing my job and living my life to spend time keeping notes for some future volume of memoirs.

I'm sometimes impatient with young people who demonstrate at my meetings and who don't want an argument, but who just want to go on television as having been there and made a fuss. This doesn't mean I don't believe in participatory democracy.

Some things I never learned to like. I didn't like to kiss babies, though I didn't mind kissing their mothers.

The most beautiful missionaries I saw were those who talked less about religion but who were very generous in their approach.

I honestly don't know what they mean by a devout Catholic.

I feel very deeply for Canada, and l believe most Canadians do.
