"In a world that wallows in filth, be clean — in language, in thought, in body, in dress."
"To each of you, I say, be clean in your language. There is so much of filthy, sleazy talk these days. Failure to express yourself in language that is clean, marks you as one whose vocabulary is extremely limited."
"Be clean in thought. Said the Lord, 'Let all things be done in cleanliness before me.'"
"A filthy mind expresses itself in filthy and profane language. A clean mind expresses itself in language that is positive and uplifting and in deeds that bring happiness to the heart."
"Be clean in body and dress and manner. Do not permit yourself to be tattooed. If you do, some day you will regret it. Only a painful and costly procedure can remove the tatoo."
"Be clean and neat and orderly. Sloppy dress leads to sloppy manners. I am not so concerned about what you wear as I am that it be neat and clean."
"Whenever you administer or pass the sacrament, look your very best. Be sure of your personal cleanliness."
"You cannot live in the world and partake of the ways of the world. You must be above all of that."
