I'll tell you what: I believe mysticism is a very serious endeavor. One must be equipped for it.

The creative tension with spirituality vs. practicality in the world of politics is a vital conversation.

Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.

We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.

Human beings can remain spiritual and religious while enjoying the benefits of rational administration of their affairs.

Spirituality is the foundation of all my political work.

At the heart of great leadership is a curious mind, heart, and spirit.

Spiritual consciousness is, on the whole, very adventurous and all about pursuing our deepest, most fulfilling dreams.

Mystical references to society and its programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats.

What I do deny is that you can build any enduring society without some such mystical ethos.
