“I will make mistakes, but I hope it will be said of me when I give up the highest honour that you can confer on any man, as was said of another in public service: ‘He wasn’t always right; sometimes he was on the wrong side, but never on the side of wrong.’ That is my dedication; that is my humble declaration.”

Prime Minister John George Diefenbaker, 1955
