Three Months Later, On September 5, 2001,

A Successful Politician Must Not Only Be Able To Read The Mood Of The Public, He Must Have The Skill To Get The Public On His Side. The Public Is Moved By Mood More Than Logic, By Instinct More Than Reason, And That Is Something That Every Politician Must Make Use Of Or Guard Against.

The Art Of Politics Is Learning To Walk With Your Back To The Wall, Your Elbows High, And A Smile On Your Face. It's A Survival Game Played Under The Glare Of Lights.

Aline And I Have Travelled A Very Long, Very Hard Road Together, From Our Working Class Homes In Rural Quebec To The Palaces Of London, Paris, Moscow, And Beijing. Politics Was The Route, Public Service The Reward.

Politics Is A Game Of Friends.

Everybody Has The Right To Speak Up In A Democracy. We Would Be In Trouble As A Society If There Wasn't A Constant Pressure To Make Reforms And To Be Just. Sometimes As Prime Minister, When I Was Caught Up In A Really Loud Demonstration, I Used To Say To Myself That I Deserved It Because Of All The Demonstrations I Myself Had Organized As A Student Against Duplessis.
