Understanding The Nature Of Conflict

How Can There Be Peace Without People Understanding Each Other; And How Can This Be If They Don't Know Each Other?

Under This Flag May Our Youth Find New Inspiration For Loyalty To Canada; For A Patriotism Based Not On Any Mean Or Narrow Nationalism, But On The Deep And Equal Pride That All Canadians Will Feel For Every Part Of This Good Land.

We Must Keep On Trying To Solve Problems, One By One, Stage By Stage, If Not On The Basis Of Confidence And Cooperation, At Least On That Of Mutual Toleration And Self-interest.

Prime Ministers Require The Hide Of A Rhinoceros, The Morals Of St. Francis, The Patience Of Job, The Wisdom Of Solomon, The Strength Of Hercules, The Leadership Of Napoleon, The Magnetism Of A Beatle And The Subtlety Of Machiavelli.

As We Enter Our Centennial Year We Are Still A Young Nation, Very Much In The Formative Stages. Our National Condition Is Still Flexible Enough That We Can Make Almost Anything We Wish Of Our Nation. No Other Country Is In A Better Position Than Canada To Go Ahead With The Evolution Of A National Purpose Devoted To All That Is Good And Noble And Excellent In The Human Spirit.
