The lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean.
OvidRead
If a tablet is not wiped clean of it's figures, nothing can be written upon it. A single heart cannot serve as the place for two things, let alone for several things. If the heart is filled with the forms of sensory perceptions, it is rare that it would perceive the meaning of Allah, even if one were to say Allah a thousand times. When the heart is empty of all that is other-than-God, if one uttered Allah only once, one would find such bliss that the tongue could not describe.
Ibn Ata AllahRead
Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.
Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheRead
God looks at the clean hands, not the full ones.
Publilius SyrusRead
When you have half of Caironese in slums, when you don't have clean water, when you don't have a sewer system, when you don't have electricity, and on top of that you live under one of the most repressive regimes right now... Well, put all that together, and it's a ticking bomb. It's not of a question of threat; it is question of looking around at the present environment and making a rational prognosis.
Mohamed ElbaradeiRead
It does not require money to be neat, clean and dignified.
Mahatma GandhiRead
Their horses were of great stature, strong and clean-limbed; their gray coats glistened, their long tails flowed in the wind, their manes were braided on their proud necks.
J. R. R. TolkienRead

Rajendra K. PachauriRead
A clean confession combined with a promise never to commit the sin again, when offered before one who has the right to receive it, is the purest type of repentance.
Mahatma GandhiRead
You know what you are actually in love with? Integrity. The impossible. The clean, consistent, reasonable, self-faithful, the all-of-one-style, like a work of art.
Ayn RandRead
You go into a community and they will vote 80 percent to 20 percent in favor of a tougher Clean Air Act, but if you ask them to devote 20 minutes a year to having their car emissions inspected, they will vote 80 to 20 against it. We are a long way in this country from taking individual responsibility for the environmental problem.
William RuckelshausRead
We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this ..is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord.
Mother TeresaRead
Most women do not have [abortions] with some sort of party going on. It is the hardest decision that a woman ever has to make . . .

The idea of this was to make it safe and clean - that was the reason the law came into effect.
Whoopi GoldbergRead
Your fellow man is your mirror. If your own face is clean, the image you perceive will also be flawless.
Deepak ChopraRead
I would much prefer to suffer from the clean incision of an honest lancet than from a sweetened poison.
Mark TwainRead
In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous; we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves.
Robert Louis StevensonRead
I want a different world. One where I don't wake up thinking I'm so lucky to be able to feed my daughter, and able to give people a clean drink of water. I don't want images of starving babies at the breast in my mind. I want that to change. And if I want that, I had better do something about it.
Emma ThompsonRead
