“[Canada] is an imperfect country, but it is still a great country, just as John A. Macdonald was an imperfect man but was still a great leader.”

“Even perfect people are taught to practice imperfections just to fit in the society. Thus, the famous saying of 'no one is perfect' still prevails.”

“Our opponent…is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.”

“It's incredible to think that such dreadful things are still happening in a country like Canada, in a country that can hardly be considered undeveloped. We're not living in caves any more.”

“This is a great country. It's a great country because we share the same values of respect and dignity and human worth, and it is my honor to be meeting with leaders who feel just the same way I do. They're outraged, they're sad. They love America just as much as I do.”

“In opening and conquering a country great and wild and rich - a country indeed not yet fully known or conquered - we have still to learn more about ourselves and each other.”

“Since no one is perfect, it follows that all great deeds have been accomplished out of imperfection.”

“I love Canada… It is a great country much too cold for good sense, inhabited by compassionate, intelligent people with bad hairdos.”

“Man is sadly retarded by allowable imperfections.”

“America is a great country. It has many shortcomings, many social inequalities, and it’s tragic that the problem of the blacks wasn’t solved fifty or even a hundred years ago, but it’s still a great country, a country full of opportunities, of freedom! Does it seem nothing to you to be able to say what you like, even against the government, the Establishment?”
