Cleanliness Quotes “A person might be an expert in any field of knowledge or a master of many material skills and accomplishments. But without inner cleanliness his brain is a desert waste.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba “Krishna insisted on outer cleanliness and inner cleansing. Clean clothes and clean minds are an ideal combination.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba "There is a strange glow on the face of a guileless person. Inner cleanliness has its own soap and water - the soap of strong faith and the water of constant practice.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba “Surely conversion is a matter between man and his Maker who alone knows his creatures' hearts. A conversion without a clean heart is, in my opinion, a denial of God and Religion. Conversion without cleanliness of heart can only be a matter of sorrow, not joy, to a godly person.” Mohandas Gandhi “Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.” Christopher Morley “One, who maintains cleanliness keeps away diseases.” Sam Veda
